It's a great app and I use it to practice my Spanish even though I already take a class for it. They also have many other languages that I personally never knew existed. The only problem I've faced is the loading screen! It takes way too long and I'm sitting here with high speed internet. Between loading screens, maybe make a little mini game or something? Change up some of the pro tips (like tap to see another tip because they only show you one). Just something to get me more hyped!!

Brilliant app, only a few minutes a day, easy to fit into your day, very happy at how quickly I've been able to brush up on my French. Very efficient way of learning... French to English translations, English to French, listening to French pronunciations, missing words and practising tenses. I know loads of people, young and older, who are trying the app. Huge language options. I like it that you can set up how many minutes a day I want to practise.

I've been using the app for the past two years and I'm quite satisfied with it. Only learning Swedish for now but I love the fact it provides large vocabulary range and that setting up your own goals is great for learning at your own pace. There is competitiveness with the leagues which makes it more simulating and fun. I'm giving it 4 stars because of 2 things - the hearts and the lack of grammar explanations. However, in the comments, admins/mods/people do take their time to do that for you.

If you give it serious time (not 5 minutes a day like they advertise, but more like an hour or two daily), this learning method actually works well to get you started with a language.

If you give it serious time (not 5 minutes a day like they advertise, but more like an hour or two daily), this learning method actually works well to get you started with a language. The gaming mechanic keeps you coming back for more, it's fun to compete on the leaderboards and in a couple of months you'll start to understand and maybe even basically speak another language!

Hi there I'm leaving a review because I'm having a terrible time with this app. There is a formatting issue that hides the correct choice behind the "check" button, and because you can't select the correct choice you can't pass the course. This is happening in the Korean language, Alphabet 2, Lesson 3. I tried to report a bug, and the captcha verification keeps failing, so I can't even do that. Very disappointed, I thought this was a popular app but it's clearly poorly maintained.

Its good but it moves at a very slow pace. It's not challenging enough. It keeps reinforcing basic vocabulary using baby sentences while occasionaly adding new words. It's also alot of multiple choice which helps you choose the right answer by ellimimating the obvious wrong answers, which makes it too easy and doesnt help me learn. They need less multiple choice and more speaking without words on screen. That would make it more challenging and more like learning a language in the real world.

I got the app and have been using it all the time. Personally thought it was great. About a month in I tried to get my girlfriend to join, but for whatever reason her game uses "hearts" where mine uses "lingots". This difference literally means that she cannot do what I have been doing, which is playing for about 5 minutes each day. The heart system actually stops you from learning and instead blocks you with a pay wall to play their "free" app...

This app started out alright. It does an okay job of attempting to teach some basics of a language but it generally fails to explain how sentences or words in other languages work. For example, in the Hebrew language the letters in words go from left to right. Duolingo doesn't tell you this. I only knew this from other sources. And the app also fails to properly tally up your points correctly and I ended up having to repeat over a dozen lessons for unknown reasons. Look elsewhere.

Amazing learning tool for those who want to set a foundation for learning a language, me personally chose Russian and I feel like I am learning a good amount, you just need to dedicate time and effort, I also reccomend tiny cards and then follow the language you're learning to help practice and perfect the language of your choice. Hopefully I will have Russian dialed in eventually. Just need to put in the work. Overall, great free app and I love Duolingo!!!

Duolingo is good for vocabulary, but it offers absolutely no explanation on grammar. While taking the Spanish placement test (I intended to use the app to help maintain my knowledge of the language), it appeared to believe that the present and the present progressive tense were the same, which they absolutely are not! While this app may be useful for vocabulary, I absolutely will not be using it after seeing that mix-up with the grammar.

Fantastic! It's such a fun way to learn a language, i absolutely love the story telling addition and the little details everywhere. it works, i went from 0 French to pretty much somewhat proficient, and i still got a looong way to go to finish the course! Adds are very fairly placed and completely unobtrusive on the free version as well, thank you duolingo! This is an app clearly made by a developer who cares. Russian, you're next ;) I just wish each lesson was a bit longer though.

I'm thinking of quitting Duo after using it pretty heavily and I'll tell you why. It has a reward-based motivational system, which is great, but your reward is not proportional to your effort. When you reach high levels, the levels are harder and harder to complete and take longer but the XP reward per unit doesn't go up so it gets harder and harder to compete with people who are cruising through new languages. It gets frustrating and I'm not sure I want to do it much longer.

The app itself is a convenient learning tool, and I enjoy having a cup of coffee while learning a new language every day! My reason for not leaving 5 stars is because the app and website are so different, and I use both! In High Valyrian, the grammar explanations dont exist in app, but do in the website. In the app you can "break" your completed lessons and restore them, but not in the website. Also in the app, some lessons are longer/shorter than on the website. I'd like to get consistency

An excellent language app. Fun to use. Each lesson has tips which are useful. Lessons depend on the category chosen & can be phrases in your home language & the language you are learning, write what you have heard, speak the phrase or word, enter missing words, vocabulary. It is an easy way to learn a language & you move up or down in leagues pitted against each other. See which languages others are learning. Complete as little or more daily or less frequently, easy to pick up again.

I know that practicing you earn hearts, but in this way it's difficult to advance. Eventough, that's something we can fix with premium! And I'm considering it. This app is total worth it! 4'5/5!!!⭐ Love 💖

The app uses just the right amount of one's base language to get you started. Then one hardly notices English even when you're doing a translation exercise. It has an element of multiple choice exercises. It can be very easy if one sticks to it and just demanding enough to make learning a language a pleasure. At one point it replaced solitaire as my go to app when on 20 minute bus rides My advice to all is to bite off what you can chew. Chew it over by a little real world practise.

I got this app to learn Japanese so i could eventally play Japanese games without Google translate. The first couple lessons were focused mainly on a small set of characters and the sounds they made, with one or two simple words tossed in. The next two lessons also have new characters in it, however are mostly focused on words, and not the new characters. The only "practice" these lessons have for the new characters is a match the character to the sound. I can't learn with those.

I really love this app. I have been wanting to learn Scottish Gaelic for years and have tried some of the other resources available online but not gotten too far because there isn't as much interactivity with them so this has been great for that. The only reason it has 3 stars is quite frequently it doesn't record that a lesson has already been done so it is just a case of getting the same ones over and over. Normally happens on a Monday starting a new league 🥺 besides this, amazing app 😊

Spanish: Needs to indicate what dialect or country of origin each word comes from. Needs much more variety with pronunciation examples. Some examples are inaccurate or misleading. Needs options for all verbal only exercises, for targeting a specific dialect too. The problem with visual based learning is that one needs visual cues to remember things - once the cues are absent (like in realistic conversation), you forget it all. Ok for absolute beginners, but not for further learning.

I love this app. It's very helpful and rewarding. I don't mind the ads in the free version. Sometimes the lessons just don't load and stay on the loading screen. And randomly it will tell me I'm offline when I'm not and then the lessons become blocked so I can't continue until it figures itself out.

This app goes in wrong direction. As many people have mentioned, the hearts system discourages learning. Besides, the app lacks many features that the web version has - such as timed practice and ability to type answers instead of selecting them from the tray. I used to be a Plus user for several months, but stopped since I don't want to sponsor the changes I don't agree with. Now it looks like it's time to uninstall the app altogether and stick to web. If the gems make it to web too, I'm out.

This app is great to expose you to new words, however, I wouldn't recommend only relying on it to teach you a language. Some recommendations: 1) There is no word bank so I had to write everything down. 2)I also wish that they had character tracing for the mobile version, especially for Asian characters where stroke order matters. 3) Recently I've had to type a lot of words. I've found that Duo isn't all that forgiving of typos or different wording, but I appreciate the report option.

It's not horrible when you first start out. It's actually rather easy to learn. However, there are some issues in the later "levels". It gets harder, which it should.

It's not horrible when you first start out. It's actually rather easy to learn. However, there are some issues in the later "levels". It gets harder, which it should. If you use headphones or earbuds the voice sounds like it is saying one thing but it is trying to say something else. The translations can be rather strange or awkward. The heart system is kind of pointless, it's only there to put a block on progress. If you want a good language app, I suggest paying a subscription to Màngo.

Only geared towards an American audience, for both Spanish and English learners (even the flags are wrong). The same with Portuguese. It's very inconsistent when mis-typing due to finger errors. However, the biggest problem is there are never any explanations as to why the rule is as it is. You only know if it's right or wrong and have no indication why this is the case. Very limited but a decent option to start learning some basic vocabulary for a new language.

I think Duolingo is absolutely wonderful and helpful. I've been learning Spanish for a few weeks now and the is so much content that I have covered. Many of the reviews mention the 5 live system and I believe it's a great thing because there is also a 'practice' section which makes you revise what you have learnt in order to get lives. Although it's time consuming, it tests your knowledge and ensures that you are learning as much as possible.

I often have to translate the US English used & this often requires annoying Google searches. I didn't know people ask for "the check" in the US. In the UK we would ask for "the bill". It would be nice only having to concentrate on the Spanish! In a similar way, it would be nice to have the option of learning Castilian Spanish!

Ok good app but could be better. The translations arnt always literal so it can get confusing between lessons. For example beau gosse in french is literally beautiful kid. That app tells you it means handsome because that is the implied meaning. But in another lesson both beau and gosse pop up separately and may leave some confused. Other than watching for that and double checking things like that the app is great.

5 stars for the whole thing. 4 stars for the app. Thanks a lot for adding the automatical selection of keyboard according to the language! I'd like to enjoy it more. But I'm still mostly using the web version (PC and phone) because I think the way it learns is better: it's better to write than to select words already written. Let us the choice like with the web versions please! For any platform: more translations from the known language to the language being studied -> more difficult exercice.

Worked OK before I created a profile. Now the app won't let me change languages, won't load lessons, hasn't stored all my progress, and it claims I'm offline when I am not. I have tried clearing caches, restarting the device, and uninstalling/reinstalling several times. Nothing works.

I'm sure this app has potential bit English to Korean is really bad. My husband is Korean and I wanted to learn some. And he says the translations are awkward and not how you would say it. I also think it's ridiculous how you go from learning letters to full sentences, no brigde between. No vocabulary. And the few words it does teach you is not informed in any way. I'm sure this works fine between languages that you can translate word for word. Will delete and find simpler app.

Sometimes I'd forget what something means and have to wait for it to come back up when practising rather than just looking at what it means.

I think this is a great app. I've used it for years now. My Spanish still sucks, but that's on me, not duo. I do still find it difficult to have conversations in Spanish. I think the only way to really get conversation ready is to actually speak to a native speaker of the language.

Also you get 5 hearts per day which are for errors so once you have made 5 mistakes you can't go further without refilling them with gems, this can be at a cost if you haven't earnt enough or if you make a lot of mistakes, which can hamper learning.

This app is pretty much only good for vocabulary. I'm trying to learn a completely new language, and the rules of the language are not being explained. I don't know how to properly read the language, any of the grammar rules, what words to use in each instance, ect. I'm not learning the language-- I'm learning neat words and phrases that do me no good w/o understanding. It would be better to give a lesson on the mechanics of the language and THEN the flash cards to test the skill.

It is very easy for your brain to use process of elimination rather than memorization. Alot better learning if you write along and keep the audio off and switch your keyboard to the native language. Do not except to learn here without daily use of the app and writing outside of it. This is my experience but when I am done I usually can't remember much of it or it is mixed up. (I am mainly referring to Japanese and learning hiragana) this would be much better if it included a writing exercise.

Lots of repetition, but that's how you learn. Sometimes you are saying it, sometimes it is multiple choice, sometimes translating to English or vice versa. I like that the lessons are short, and I can do as many as I want in a sitting. I plan to try another language after French.

So far, a very impressive app. I'm learning how to use new words in sentences and grammar and spelling. The app includes recordings to teach pronunciation as well. I enjoy the strike system when I give the wrong answer; it encourages me to really memorize what I've learned. I think it's best to take breaks in between lessons in order to digest what you've seen, rather than cramming all at once. All of this for free- a very good app indeed! The ads are not jarring or irritating at all.

Loving this so far! I'm 31, and hard of hearing failed French in school because I was unable to hear certain sounds / so reporting it back I was always wrong. I find this so much different I put my earphones in and I'm able to fully hear the sounds, and therefore I've been able to repeat it back correctly. It's nice being able to learn something that I was told I would be unable to do. And now at the age of 31 I have friends who are French so I have even more of a reason to really try to learn

Seems great at first, until you get to more complicated parts. There's a complete lack of explanation as to WHY something is wrong. Yes, you can ask a question are read through other users explanation of what something is, but this is users helping other users and they're not always correct. Also, what exactly is the premium for if you're still reliant on users explaining (and therefore teaching) the language? Basically, you run through the same set of questions, never fully understanding.

I would love to see the little owl wave at me on my home screen at a time I schedule in my day so I anticipate it. The red letters when mistakes are made might be rethought. Mistakes aren't evil they may be due to carelessness or just need to be programmed into the brain a few more times. But there should not be shame involved. Everyone wants to do well.

If you answer a question wrong, it takes away a heart and you only have 5 and if you run out you either have to wait or pay money to have unlimited hearts and the time for waiting is a couple of days. How are you supposed to learn if you cant even try? I am very mad about the limit.

As a virtual beginner it has given me a good start. I find I can now read french somewhat but have some difficulty with understanding speech at normal pace. Slow speech I can deal with. Sometimes the voice audio is not brilliant. As a Brit I have had to also learn American English. But that's fine.

But besides that, this app is definitely worth your time! I highly recommend it.

This app is great for learning a language thier are such a small amount of ads it never bothers you and besides you choose when you watch video ads for doubling stuff like gems or hearts. Some people hate the hearts in this game you get 5 every 25 hours and each time you mess up in a lesson it takes away a heart. When you run out of hearts you fail that level of the lesson and have to redo it which I am perfectly fine with as you can do practice lessons for more hearts. Helping you too learn!!

I've been using this app for over two months without a single issue and I find absolutely amazing, since progress is truly made and I actually am learning. Problem is, last update destroyed it. Lags all the time, while tapping on things, writing text or switching between the pages (accessing settings or the leaderboard). Even the audios are played slow or completely asyncronous, sometimes they play when the screen still has to recognize that I tapped on "Continue". It is barely usable. Fix it.

Lately I am once again falling in love with Duolingo. I love this last update! The fact that the keyboard switch automatically is a really good way of saving time, especially when you have more than 10 keyboards to chose from. Finally they changed the number of lessons too! It was a bit annoying having to do 20 lessons to complete one level. And I love the podcasts, learning French has become more easier for me, that I was struggling a bit with the similarity to Spanish. Absolutely advised!

Great app to learn almost any language you would think of. It's completely for free which is amazing. You will just see few adds which is completely understandable (or you can pay to not see them). I love the learning system, lessons, everything. Also the duolingo forum is amazing help. Thank you so...

The Hindi course is so glitchy you have to hope you get the "matching pairs" question that ISN'T messed up just to continue the course lessons. It really slows progress. Why would I want to keep coming back to lessons that you can never pass because the entire system is messed up? Really disappointed. Was so excited for this, but came to a grinding halt at level 3. Sent in feedback and a but fix report. Nothing yet. What a shame.

The app is quite robust and well planned; however, the developer does not respond to feedback. I have sampled several courses. Some familiar and some unfamiliar. Some courses contain info without explanation while others seem quite accurate. Overall, I have enjoyed using the app; however, I will not spend my money on an app whose developer does not interact with its community. I chose three stars as I believe it is possible to learn from mistakes yet not without appropriate feedback.

Great selection of languages. App is free, but you can upgrade to get no ads and some other perks. Even with free version, you get the same content, so you won't learn faster or better or more with paid version. You can compete with others, but the competition is more based on how long you spend on lessons and your consistency as opposed to who knows a given language better. Awesome app if you want to learn a language but don't want to drop hundreds of dollars on a class or a paid program.

I still give this app 5 stars. Having stayed diligent in learning Spanish with Duolingo, I have truly picked up the basics of the language, making me able to write basic sentences with ease. Honestly, I can't believe it's free, this is high quality stuff!

The lessons are short(2-3 minutes) but you can complete several in a row if you desire. EVEN in free mode, there is exactly 1 ad at the end of each lesson, and you don't have to wait 5, 15, or 30 seconds to close it, you can X right away. That shows class (lol), integrity, and a dedication to learning from the developers. I was offered a week trial of Duolingo Plus, will def purch.

I love this app for learning Italian. I wish that there weren't points and other unnecessary "fluff." I don't need it to be a game, I just want to lean the language. It's very helpful though and the variety of speaking, writing, reading, and matching opportunities keeps it interesting.

Love the independence this app gives me in actually learning another language. It's strengths are definitely in reading and listening to the language since there's only so much chatting you can do with AI, but that's something! I am finding myself perk up to and decipher words and sentences of Spanish speakers when I am out and about in a regular basis. Very rewarding. And the learning is relatively painless since it is set up as a game.

I love this app, it makes learning easy. BUT it's easier to understand the Italian than the app. Why does running out of the hearts stop the lesson? Where do the hearts come from in the first place? I really don't get it??? Maybe I'm just too old. I would like to review lessons to practice but can't figure out how to, or indeed if it's possible. There is little or no guidance how navigate the course. I'll keep at it and hope I get the best from it, but I can't help thinking I'm missing bits out.

All in all, this is a good app for learning a language. However, the recent update that added people characters in the lessons drives me crazy. I've also set notifications as a reminder to do my lessons for a certain time, and I get notifications at all hours of the day, so that's a little annoying.

I’ve been using this app for a long time and loving it. But, it was always obvious that they are struggling with their promise to be “always free” in the face of market reality. So, I’ve seen them experimenting with different features that might get people to pay for premium. Well, they finally broke their promise as expected and introduced a “hearts system” that limit the use of the app unless you have premium account in which you could buy unlimited hearts. This is such a sleazy way of forcing people to pay for premium while still pretending you are free. If you cannot hold you promise then just don’t. Tell the users it’s not working and some changes are needed. But WHY do you have to do it by limiting the amount of mistakes a person can make in the courses?!?!? Just limit the amount of courses a person can take a day or the amount of time for practice, or just close some features from the free users (like the tips or the “skip a course” key). Limiting the errors I can make in a course?!? Are you kidding me?!?! How does a person suppose to learn if not from making mistakes?!? Moreover, most of the mistakes are not even mine—a lot of the mistakes are the app’s (I don’t know how many times I selected the “my answer should have been accepted” option and got an email from them saying I was right), and not to mention all the mistakes one makes because of the phone’s spell checker. Just as principle I’m not going to be a premium member. There is Babel, Drops, Memrise, and many other apps for learning languages. All of them are not free, but at least they are being honest about it right from the start!!!

Once I get competent in Polish, I'm going to start another language, and then maybe another after that!

If duolingo's motto is to make learning languages free they should keep it that way for everybody. I am fine with receiving ads, I get that they need funding to keep running but giving plus more privillages becomes a 'pay to win' app

I earn mine honestly, but there are several people that use a hack to cheat. There is just no way that I can see how anyone can earn 700 XP in 10 minutes. I hope by making a 1 star review, the developers will take notice and close these loopholes. Allowing it to remain does not make me want to pay for the app, and I am thankful it's still free.

Enjoyed the app until they did an upgrade or revamped it. I had made it through all the levels. After the change I was essentially sent back to beginning and my progress was erased. I am not a beginner. I've spent a year trying to regain some advanced status again but app keeps having me spend all my time on redoing lessons that I've maxed out in. Ridiculous. At this rate it will take 3-4 years to make any significant progress again. Definitely thumbs down. It should encourage not discourage.

Unfortunately, the app would freeze, not access my keyboard. I couldn't type in an answer. I couldn't skip to the next question. My only option was to exit the lesson, which meant not getting credit for work I'd already done rendering the app unusable for further lessons. I can only use the website, even though I paid for Duolingo Plus. Still happening!

Greatest app on the market for learning a language, and it's completely free! But it would be even better if it also had the "tips" section like in the desktop version, the one where grammar rules etc is explained in more detail. That would make things much easier. Until then, 4 stars.

It works amazing and I use it to practice my Japanese. It's a great learning app but I do have some comments. I think there could be a bit more explanation because sometimes I have need to Google stuff because it isn't explained in the app. Also the Japanese pronunciations are a bit off sometimes, but I still love it!

Definitly good start into languages, not sure the repetition engine (I have rather bad memory) so I use supermemo own flashcards as boost. If you think about learning language use it. I tried twice but the real start was duolingo. What I do not like is mostly reptition the whole lesson (chapter) , it gives you the picture of eg the car with easy choice of an answer and next asks you how is the car in learned language so you answer which gives you false impresion that you know this word.

I like the way it conditions you into a language and the way vocabulary is subtly introduced and repeated. It is very well-placed to accommodate different levels of learners. The structure of the app is well thought out, like it was as written by a linguist/teacher. The constant duo motivation and reminders work well to help with time management. Over all, it makes learning languages fun and gives you the opportunity to interact with other people as well, which adds a social dynamic.

In my opinion this is a great app to learn languages. But there is something you should add to help others. You should add the language alphabet for each of them. And you should also add the pronounciations. But other than that this is an amazing app!

I enjoy learning Japanese with this app, the community is great, they give tips and tricks to understand the lessons easily, but I just have this issue in the leaderboard and achievements. I have already finished first in the leaderboard twice, in the Ruby and Emerald league, but I wasn't able to receive any rewards or even accomplished the 'Winner' or even the 'Champion' in the achievements tab. This is very frustrating, I have lost my motivation to compete anymore please fix this.

Exceptional app. But I'm having problems upgrading to Plus. I was hoping to take advantage of their 2020 deal. But all payment methods are being declined (even though all payment details are up to date and correct.) Tried to submit a help request though the app and even that's broken. Can't attach screenshots, which is mandatory. And no Captcha image appears, thus rendering me unable to submit the form anyway. I really hope the developers see this and help me out. Because I love this app.

Minor Issues But Mostly Great. The main issue is that when I spend lingots to test out of different lessons, my progress is lost within a few minutes after I pass. There are just a few subjects that do this every time I make it to gold.

With some languages, you can practice saying the phrases (Chinese and French) but with others, it doesn't (Arabic and Japanese). 🤔 It offers so many languages like Hawaiian, Navajo and even made up languages like Klingon and high Valyrian... But it doesn't offer all the MOST spoken languages (top 10 in the world) like Bengali 😕.

Duolingo is a great resource for learning new languages. I am currently learning French. I have one problem though. The app is restricting me from proceeding forward with my lessons because I am apparently getting an answer incorrect. I have checked the correct answer multiple times and retried the question. Everytime I answer,with what should be correct, I get the wrong answer button. I'm extremely agitated with what is happening and hope the problem gets fixed.

This is a very good app for learning a language, especially since it is free. I have been learning Spanish in class for 7 years and I often find that it helps me brush up on certain skills. However, I wish that they would offer more advanced content sometimes. For example, they often have you translating a Spanish sentence to English, however I feel that we should be practicing translating from English to Spanish. We need to be able to produce the language we're learning, not the fluent one

I wanted to learn German, but I didn't want to listen, nor speak. Duo never forced me to! I needed it in a story structure, while learning the vocabulary and sentence structures, so I could progress onto harder stories. This did exactly that, to my surprise. I hadn't found an app that could do what I envisioned. Vielen danke!

Users are also not able to customize the theme of the app or change the voices of narrators. On the bright side, tests are simple and beginner-friendly, but it won't allow you to be very proficient in the language you learn. It gives tips on each lesson module, but there are no external links embedded.

I chose Japanese to learn, considerably one of the hardest languages. Being that I already had some experience working with a native teacher teaching me the language, I was a bit confused on how they were teaching people. For one, you hardly learn any of the characters before jumping straight into learning words. The harder part of the langauge is quickly introduced within the first lesson, even though it is typically learned after you learn the words in the easier characters.

Easily one of the best language learning apps. Hugely motivating and well paced, with a great selection of languages. The one issue I've run into is that I have no need to learn to read the languages I'm learning, but there's no way to include transliterations with native text (or turn off reading questions), so any reading question that doesn't include the ability to press a word for the audio becomes a guessing game. 4 or 5 of those questions in a row really derails a study session.

I find this an incredible resource for learning French and for school and it has improved my language skills immensely. The addition of the stories to French have made it much more enjoyable. And the leaderboard adds a bit of competition which motivates me to keep going. I do wish the Irish was better, I cannot access the gramme notes on the app on the phone, there isn't much auditory to learn the sounds and there wasn't an addition of stories. Hopefully this will change with a further update.

The first lesson is called letters, but it doesn't actually teach you the letters. I can't learn this language if I can't read it, and there is no option for an alphabet guide. The languages that don't use familiar characters are frustrating because there is no reference for those unfamiliar characters.

Makes it fun, reinforcing, and easy to learn; allowing you to work at your own pace.

That result in answers being ordered correctly for you. So you can cheat. Just support landscape and don't tell me how to use my phone.

Duolingo is a very nice, efficient app for learning languages, which has become a hobby for me now. Something happened, though, and unfortunately I can't give my full 5 stars.

Once I restarted the app, I'd lost the lingots and need to use 5 more lingots again. Can something be done about this?

Duolingo is terrific for folks like me, who instinctively "get" language and how it's structured. The only thing I think that would make the app better is not only a translation, but a brief explanation of your error when you get something wrong. That's IT. The hardest thing about Duolingo for me is slowing down so I don't get too frustrated - but that's completely on me.

It's been a good year learning with Duolingo. I wish every language had the same stuff as others. I hear some languages get "stories", which sounds interesting. On the plus side, Japanese (my chosen language to learn) is getting another update early this year. It would be cool to try out the iOS characters because thst sounds more engaging, alas I'm on android. Lingots don't get much use at the moment, so it would be good to see a way of utilising them more. Thanks for teaching me, Duo. ありがとう！

I absolutely love Duolingo but I think it helps me learn Spanish words better than it helps me learn to speak Spanish. Speaking exercises are great but why do they only practice repeating what was heard? Why not speak the Spanish translation or situational speaking in Spanish? "tell the waiter you need a table for two." Or Duo says: "De que color es el vestido de mujer." Learner looks at a picture and answers, "el vestido de mujer es rojo." Keep up the good work Duolingo!

Have been using this app for couple of months now. It seems very promising at first but with time once you get past the very basics it starts to get very long and challenging without any real system of teaching I find myself memorizing correct answers in stead of learning the language. This system I feel like is more focused on creating an impression of progress but lacking any practical teaching, testing of knowledge. This will work only as a complimentary app to real courses.

Really enjoy daily lessons; I feel like it's helping me actually absorb the language rather than just drilling it into a rote format. The only real downside is that it is constantly trying to game-ify things, and I'm a college student who REALLY doesn't need constant distractions from the app notifying me about leader boards and pushing for my valuable time- I don't have a single reminder that I could set to daily, weekly, whatever, but it's kinda overboard right now.

Makes it fun to learn another language I did not give 5 stars as I feel that there still room for improvement. One suggestion is to have more tips, guidelines especially when it comes to sentence construction. I am studying Japanese now, and I have to regularly google to understand some concepts (wa, ga, ka, etc). There is a forum and while the comments are useful, I can't always filter which is exactly an "opinion" or an actual correct answer..

Great app! Lots of fun to learn on it and clean graphics. I wish they had more 'side lessons' you could get with the rubies etc, as well as even more languages.

Great app! Lots of fun to learn on it and clean graphics. I wish they had more 'side lessons' you could get with the rubies etc, as well as even more languages. I also think it'd be good to include more in the beginning lesson breif before each circle, sometimes you're just guessing what a word means based on the options because it just wasn't covered. More visual kinds of learning would also be great. But overall would still recommend!

Lots of expansion to the language courses, and new features like fully voice-acted (not text-to-speech) audiobook- type stories to practice listening to conversation and contextual listening (so far only in French, Spanish, and German AFAIK). Very fun language learning app that keeps you engaged and growing.

Great app. It's really helping me learn new languages easily, and any adds they show you are quick. When you run out of hearts, instead of saying you must wait the 4+hours for the next one, they let you practice what you've been working on to earn a heart. I love this app

Duolingo used to be a great place for me to learn Spanish for several reasons. It alternated from translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, I was able to unlock levels that were a little more interesting with Lingots (earned), and eventually I unlocked short fill in the blank dialogues. Most of this still applies, but it's ruined for me because the Lingot system is replaced with the Heart system, which means you're allowed to make only five mistakes unless you put down money. Pls fix

The adds only come up when after you've done a lesson and don't come out of nowhere like some other apps can, and there is a paid version that will do away with ads. I'm considering buying the pro version as I'm enjoying the app so much. 5 stars all day long!

Duolingo is a great app because there are so many languages to learn and you can learn more than one at a time, it also covers all the areas of the language. When learning the language you do everything - by this I mean you match up words, you pick the right words/phrases, you speak words and you also type after a few lessons. I personally also really like the little mascot when he pops up and says something inspirational (this function is optional on settings) and the fact you have hearts.

Initially it was teaching sounds and how they looked written down. Then some of the sounds were combined. I assume as in English th is different to t, h, ch different to c and h. I was happy with my progress. Suddenly it wants me to translate words and short sentences that I haven't seen before. Which means I can only make random guesses as to the correct answer. Unsurprisingly, I'm getting a lot wrong! But I'm only allowed a few incorrect answers before I'm locked out for several hours!

Takes a little getting used to. Quite a complicated interface but it makes sense once you get to grips with it. Lessons are better than Rosetta Stone: more permissive so you don't have to get every capital letter or punctuation exactly right to get an answer marked as correct

It's not easy to find books on it even in Scotland and as a language spoken by less than 1% here it really needs something like DuoLingo to help more people get into it. You will definitely learn a lot if you stick at it and the free experience is great compared to what you might be expecting. The lesson variation and structure will teach you to come at the language from multiple angles and pick it all up at once.

Between the app and the website, you've got yourself a perfectly useful way to learn languages any time and just about anywhere. And FREE?! YES!!! no catches. Duolingo is awesome because it can be used in very small chunks. No long courses, or videos or other long time commitments. You can bang out a few good lessons while on the toilet... Or waiting for the bus... or in any short moment that you get throughout the day. The key is to stick with it and let it's game-style structure show you the way. I was impressed in how the app manages to integrate so many methods and functions for becoming comfortable with a foreign language. You don't just read or listen or watch... you do all the forms of communication you encounter in the real world (including speaking to the app). Learning with this interactive environment beats all other methods in my opinion, and I wish that Duolingo would take the lessons to even more advanced levels as well. Maybe in the future? Thank you to the developers for a great, FREE TOOL!

The app principally works, but it does not include the explanations the web app offers (the tips section for each lesson explaining background). Without that it's often hard to follow. Also often there is an error when trying to access the forum for a given phrase. Together with Duolingo often claiming an answer is right, even though there are spelling mistakes (and not pointing them out), this pretty much means you constantly need a second app to verify the spelling is actually correct.

Duolingo is better than expected. It goes slow and reinforces the words and keeps building your vocabulary. I like the ability to say words and it check you. I wish you could do more in the free version. It seems like you get a few wrong answers and then you have to wait.

The app reminds you every day to continue your streak and it runs well when you use it. One extra plus is the sensible approach to audio support: when audio is not a good idea, you can practice with text only. Well done! Great app in gratis mode, even better when you pay :)

I have been buying the weekend amulet for months but for two weekends the amulet got used and in addition my streak freeze was used. So two days for the price of three? Last weekend I bought the weekend amulet but went ahead and did lessons to prevent losing a streak freeze and the amulet was used even though I did lessons. Why?? That's just ridiculous.

I started with duolingo several years ago when it first came out. The learning design has improved drastically. The app used to be harshly punitive on learners who did not practice every day, which I found deeply disheartening. Now the mulit-tiered reward system encourages learners to come back for more. The program now features better corrections and practical grammar. I am very happy with the work the duolingo team has put in to make this app the best learning experience possible.

The best part about the lessons is each catagory has 5 levels progressively getting hard so you can go back at anytime to refresh yourself and the leagues make you more competitive so it's learning but a game

I recommend using this app for beginners in a new language.

This is a great website and app, and I really appreciate how it works without buying plus. It's helped me learn a lot of Spanish. (Stories being made available on the app is great, thank you.) One thing: Please, please change it so if we start a lesson before midnight (and when we finish, it's past that), we don't lose our streak. It is very bothering and discouraging, especially because the point of streaks is putting in effort every day, and starting a lesson is certainly putting in effort.

Great for being exposed to new words quickly but that's also it's biggest weakness. There is no feature that lets you review the words you've learned.

Great for being exposed to new words quickly but that's also it's biggest weakness. There is no feature that lets you review the words you've learned. Also I don't understand why they downgraded the app by adding a stupid heart system that stops you from learning if you make too many mistakes. Making mistakes is how we learn the most. Annoying people into paying for Duo+ whilst still being under the guise as an app that offers free education? The english word for that is 'Evil'

5 star so far, the entire tap and hear of it made me feel great, the entire idea was so rewarding to me, learning a new language (and then more simultaneously) with an xp based system was my dream all along. Even the adds in the free version are acceptable and at a much decent rate, along with the message "This add helps us keep learning free" which really makes it so much more empathizable with. Will be back if I find any recommendations, but so far I'm much more learning from you 🥰

Really well-paced lesson structure that regularly nudges you to keep up the regular practice required to actually learn a new language (or multiple languages if you fancy it). The league system this app employs gives a competitive sense that encourages further improvement, too. I will say that the regular nudging can get a lite annoying sometimes, though. Perhaps that is an effective way to goad one into learning more, but it does tend to fill one's email inbox.

It monitors you like a facebook app. If you get things wrong it takes away 1 of your 5 hearts and when you are out of hearts you cannot continue until the hearts refill. Instead of helping you it just treats it like a game. Basically if you aren't perfect it is a waste of an app.

It is fun and easy to use. Duolingo allows the learner to fault and repeat as many times as the learner needs, at the learner's pace, and it's free. Duolingo has many more strength, but I will only highlight one, it lives up to its aim of "making learning free and fun"

A couple of things that would make it even better though; being able to look over past lessons for reminders if you haven't been on the app for a while, and have some sort of vocab dictionary of all of the words you've learnt so far. Other than that I've found this app really useful at learning some key vocab and sentences.

I like the way the leaderboard works. It gets you motivated. But the way this teaches you can be a bit confusing. For example I am learning Japanese and at the beginning i was learning some numbers but it taught me 1 through 7 except 5. That just doesn't make sence.

I've gone all the way through with German. It was helpful for a visit to Austria. Dabbled in French. Now I need to learn Spanish for a job. I'm making swift progress. Tiny cards are great for vocabulary building- just wish they accepted contractions. The stories are helpful for actual applications of what I've been studying. The first check point exam did take vocab introduced in the succeeding lesson - an obvious mistake. Didn't hold me back.

I think if they made it so you could hear the sound of new words /phrases when they're presented it would help learn faster, in my opinion. Also it would be beneficial if you could chat with others, perhaps someone that speaks the language you're learning to help get used to writing in a conversational manner and someone trying to learn our language could chat with us for practice too.

Amazing. I'm using the app to learn Japanese from English currently, and although it's definitely suited for teaching Spanish, french, and German, it's still the best way to learn Japanese that I've found that actually gives you the whole language for free as well as teaches you both how to speak the language AND how to read it. Most Japanese learning apps I've used only do one or the other. Ads are non-intrusive and don't hinder the app itself at all. I highly recommend this app.

Highly addictive and fun way to learn. Only improvement would be to describe new words, and how they are used, as they are introduced. It can be quite frustrating, running out of lives, trying to guess what a new word means.

Duolingo was a little rocky at first when learning Japanese and I still dont agree with some of its training. However European languages ended up being perfect for the type of training structure they have and gave it a 3 out of 5. The real problem with the app came when I convinced friends to download it and they were given a form of the app that try's to force you to upgrade to premium with hearts. It ruined the experience and they uninstalled it.

If not u should keep playing until u get #1 otherwise you will be demoted to the previous league. So keep playing until u die. Such a non sense concept. I stopped playing bcz of this pressure. F***

I would give you 5 stars but the environment you designed for iOS is better that the one for Android, if you improve the android one maybe, maybe I would give you the 5 stars and pay the plus subscription. Update: as soon as I wrote the previous comment the app changed to an iOS like environment, don't know how, I didn't download an update and I don't let the device do it on its own! So... very strange, right? Now I am taking down another star because the speaking exercises are annoying.

I'm not sure how well it would work if I didn't already know a lot of the language. It would be good to introduce new words with pictures of videos as direct translation is not the best way to truly learn a language.

Overall, this program is fantastic, and quite fun. What prevents me from giving a 5/5 is the fact that it's sometimes hard to figure out how to pronounce certain letters. An guide on how to announce, or a phonetic breakdown of words would be an amazing help.

Good and useful but still frustrating when it gives you red for obvious fatfingering. On languages with sound recognition exercises, it needs translations of the sound bits when they have meaning on their own. That would help memorizing the characters.

I never thought I would stick to a learning program as long as I have of my own free will but it's been fun. The only thing is that its results are what you put into it.

Ads are at the end of every lesson but they aren't videos so you can close them immediately.

This really helped me with Latin. The constant repitition and audio component really helped me with verbs. However, the grammar explanations were not adequate. Fortunately, Duolingo is not my only source for learning Latin, as I am also working through the Henle Latin program. I find that using both methods is a great way to learn. I only wish that Duolingo would expand its Latin program. It is quite short and never even progresses past the present tense.

Overall the APP is great for the introductory stages of language learning and comprehension. I am not a fan of the ads and the promotion of the pro version but it is expected from all APPS in the current marketplace. Overall great service regardless of the ads.

It's a easy app to deal with..you can learn a language at home saving money and time, it's good!! There are some problems like limits of hearts if you don't sign it .. but it's ok I recommend it!!

I love it! It's very helpful in how it explains the words and I love the tips feature! It's making Spanish a breeze! Though I think they need a way to delete languages courses you accidentally started. And it needs more things to spend the gems on.

Great way to learn especially for free! There are ads but they are minimal and non intrusive. They remind you often to take 5 minutes to learn which is great for absent minded people like myself. It helps me connect with some of my ancestors by learning a dying language (irish).

This app is a great way to learn how the speak in a different language. My only problem is that if you take a break off the app then when you come back you might not remember alot of the translations. It might be better if you were put back a level or two once you've had a break.

May not be equal to a fully comprehensive language course but does a very good job of introducing the beginner and intermediate levels of learning a language. Though I wish there were more guides to help learn new pronunciations. Overall a good app worth your time

FRICK YES. The progress system is really fun, and every step seems like a gigantic step in learning the language. There's a ton of options, and you can really learn with it! A friend of mine has been doing the Japanese course for quite some time and he can read, talk and even write Japanese!!!

A good app but would maybe be better being taught about the verbs and sentence construction at the start of a course. Also a dictionary you could access to see what words you have learned for reference would be really good as well.

The hearts system is terrible and makes Duolingo a total waste of time. It punishes you for making mistakes, which is totally senseless as mistakes are crucial to learning just about anything! Additionally, with or without hearts, most of the app's sentences are not at all useful in real life. It's much better learning the grammar of your target language with comprehensive textbooks, reading books and listening to media in the language and expediting your vocabulary with Drops and Clozemaster.

4 instead of 5 stars due to no context being given (but I'm getting that elsewhere). would be three as sometimes I get something wrong for a typo, but other times I get something right with a typo. other small issues, too, but back up to four stars for overall being highly effective.

I'm learning a lot from this app. My one gripe is I wish there was more verbal feedback so I can here what I'm learning. Like when I translate something or pick the correct translated word. They do give tips for why you got a question wrong are too few. Be careful of typos!

It would make your app more popular because bengali is also spoken in Bangladesh. Okay thank you - Best wishes from Indian

this is my favorite language app. it is very user friendly. I was able to start at my fluency level, and they way they teach language (compared with other language learning apps) fits my learning style the best. I only wish there was even more levels in the swedish one!

Find that I am enjoying learning French with this app. Looking forward to improving my French a lot however for the last month there is a problem with the practice section as it is marking an answer as incorrect but then it shows the correct answer and mine WAS the correct answer. It has locked down and I cannot use that section as a learning tool which is unfortunate to say the least. I really enjoyed learning with Duolingo but thet should do their jobs and fix bugs. Will apply for a refund

It is amazing if you are one of the lucky ones without hearts. If you have hearts, you are kicked out of a lesson if you reach 0 (making mistakes is part of learning, except for this app apparently). Completely ruined the learning experience.

Brilliant and easy to use. Really helps make the languages clearer and repetitive enough to make it stick. I've learnt more Spanish from this in a few hours, then in my whole GCSE Spanish course. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to seriously learn a language.

Really great app with a lot of language options that allow you to gradually learn at your own pace. Could use improvement in sequence though as you learn certain words and phrases before you learn the basics like numbers and colours. Dark mode is long overdue.

I absolutely love this app! It's perfect if you want to learn languages. The only thing I wish was there is a better interactive program.. Maybe something that explains grammatical concepts better. But the basics are amazing!!
Karen Frith
January 10, 2020
Brilliant way to learn Spanish. The repetitive nature of the way to learn from English to Spanish and vice versa is very good, with the audio in Spanish to learn the correct pronunciation invaluable. It drills it into your subconscious while also explaining the grammar.

Hearts didn't properly regenerate, answers had duplicates solutions that would cause you to lose hearts, closing an ad would lead to getting Duolingo plus every time, and there are better methods of teaching languages. Duolingo doesn't have a good structure for reviewing words.

This is a good app . However if there was more little virtual rewards for getting to particular levels I think it would be good. For example a Certificate which you could print off to remind yourself of how far you have progressed in your study.

Duolingo provides a low pressure, comfortable approach to learning a language that gets you hooked on practicing and keeps you coming back to learn more. I plan on using it to learn multiple languages. Kudos to the developers!

I like the challenge of keeping up with the other people in the Duolingo community. Although I sometimes would like to have a notepad included with the app so that I can keep a running list of new words that I am learning.

This app is fantastic for learning the basic foundation of a language. It won't teach you to become totally fluent, but it will give you a strong enough platform to reach the stage where you can practice what you learn and then build out your skills from there.

Despite completing daily lessons and receiving the screen notifying me that I have extended my streak, I wake up being notified that my streak freeze has been used up or streak has been broken. Ten dollars a month is steep for a functioning app, let alone this one.

Really engaging. I find this app really helps to develop my language skills. It seems to focus heavily on the reading and writing aspects more than the spoken word. However, if you have the drive to take what you're learning and apply it in practice it really works. It's a top tier language app.
Santeri

A fun and effective tool for learning languages! I find the interactive lessons much more useful than a simple textbook. Edit: recently the app has been a lot more buggy. A lot of cases of missing audio and sometimes the UI just partially stops working.

This app makes it easy and pretty fun to learn other languages, and I feel like I'm doing quite well with German! I just don't really know why I can't select exactly what I want to learn at the moment, so you kind of learn it out of order. But again it clearly works so I'm all for it.

This app is great. I have spent only 5 days on it and have all ready learned over 100 words in Spanish. The plus version of this app is great and is cheap and if you don't want to spend any money then you can share it with people to get it temporarily for free. It also has barely any ads and when you do get an add it is usually at the end of a lesson. Over all I would highly recommend this to all people trying to learn a new language.

My only criticism is that very occasionally the spoken parts can be unclear, leading me to give a wrong answer, and given my competitive nature this can be frustrating! All in all, though, it's proving to be very rewarding.

It's fun and, much to my surprise I'm actually learning. I like it and I'm going to try to keep going. The way I look at it, what do I have to lose if I sit here for 10 or 15 minutes every day for the next year or more, I should learn something. That would be cool.

As a person who had once known a decent amount of Spanish as a child, I always regretted the fact that I had lost all but the very basics over the years. I have been very pleasantly surprised at how quickly Duolingo has not only been refreshing my memory after nearly 25 years of no practice, but it has already begun to teach me new words, phrases and pronunciations. This has also been key in proper sentence structure so that as I learn a word or phrase, I almost immediately know how to apply it.

Trevor Stubbs

I love this app! The only thing is that I wish there was a way to review the words you've learned, like in a flash card style. But seriously, even without that, it's an awesome app and you can for real learn the language if you're serious about it!
Marcy Gantala
January 10, 2020

Pretty good app. It only teaches by repetition no explanation. The audio is hard to understand because it appears to be a digital voice. I can see how some may learn enough but im having a hard time.

Fun, easy way to learn a language. Not sure how well this would work without knowing any of the language, but with a little bit of a knowledge base is very helpful. Stronger in teaching listening/ comprehension than writing.

Makes learning languagrs fun! It starts every language from very simple terms, like a child reading their first word books, then progresses to have you translate phrases and understand stories! Plus you can compete with others for top placement in your league! Fun!

I started learning a new language through this app about 10 days ago. So far I love this. It is fun and keeps me motivated. My only thing is that I could not find explanation of grammar rules for that language. I have to guess it as i go through the phrases that I have to translate back and forth.

Absolutely brilliant app. One of the best I've ever used. Really makes sure that you are remembering the vocab via repetition. Hard to stop! Also brilliant that you can do several languages at the same time!

I love this app, it's fun, structured and a great way to learn or maintain a language.there are some sentence and grammar differences to be aware of but for keeping up on vocabulary I highly recommend!

A very good way to learn a new language. It even includes motivational messages so if you are slow to catch on the something, you don't feel behind or rushed.

There are tons of sentences which have been broken for years, multiple users have submitted "my answer should have been accepted" reports, but still broken... Also it's 2020, time for dark mode 🌚

In French The correct answer is seemingly random: "Quel est votre/ton nom" "Comment tu t'appelles" "Comment vous appelez-vous" Pick the wrong one, even though theyre all right, youll still be trying to get past same question 65 times later! Formal translations are rarely accepted: "Comment t'appelles-tu?" WRONG

Duolingo is a fun and interactive way of learning a language. It feels like playing a game but you're being immersed in the language and I find myself picking words up without being given any definition for them. It's really exciting!

I like how they make it a game. The bad thing is that if you're already at an advanced level, the app still makes you start at the beginning level. I got every answer right on the placement test but it won't put me in an advanced level.

It's nice, I really enjoy reading new languages by using this app, but there is a small problem growing big, most of the times duolingo doesn't play the sound. so I'm always so insecure about how the word pronounces.

Really helpful, and there's leaderboards to keep things competitive. The ads are minimal and only serve the purpose of funding the app. This has helped me learn some languages in an attention grabbing way

They make this like it's a game...taking hearts away when you get something wrong...not allowing you learn at a good they want you to pay to learn at your own pace...other I know with the app thinks it's a joke that I have to wait for my heart to replenish😑

5 stars if you make a setting where the Duolingo bird actually says threatening or angry motivational blurbs. Also, please make the achievement card photos in the achievement tab smaller. Specifically, make them shorter. Compacting everything in that tab would look a lot nicer.

It's better than going to school, because one can learn at one's own pace. The app has been improved greatly over the years. It was easier to learn when I could use my laptop with the larger screen than the minuscule screen of the cell phone. Overall, it's still a great way to learn a new language.

A tad awkward until you figure out how to type letters that your keyboard hates. Still can't figure out the microphone function. The actual courses are great and the option to do it on the computer helps a lot.

Very good teaching app. I downloaded this a couple hours ago and tried to learn some Spanish and this app gets it done there is so much to learn and they help you understand and make sure you understand and know what you are saying I'm planning on doing 3 hours a day and hopefully I'll learn Spanish in the near future. I definitely recommend and it's FREE. One con I will say is you aren't talking to any real life people in live time, otherwise this app is great and it has plenty of languages.

Fantastic way to learn languages with a huge variety and lots of ways to keep you on track. I've learned the basics of Hindi from scratch thanks to Duolingo. Only weakness is it can be gamed slightly. Duolingo can't quite make up for real life experience

Duolingo is a "mucky" way to learn a language: it requires you to largely work out the rules of the target language yourself, but that is exactly what babies and toddlers do. Duolingo is not a formal systematic, highly organized language course but because it is interactive it is satisfying and fun, like doing an eternal puzzle. It is just one tool among the many which you need to use to learn a new language. It has flaws but don't treat the course seriously. Serious studies are elsewhere.

Very gud app to learn any language, just i wanted to add one or two points regarding any language. There should be grammar topics added in it as while learning German language, there are so many words which are used in different ways.

I am enjoying learning French. I find the app doesn't fit that well on my Samung. At times Duo has a hard time recognizing my voice on my phone and tablet. Otherwise, it is quite easy to use.

January 19, 2020
So far, it seems to be a good learning tool. It challenges you, it allows you to guess, and it gives you hints if you need them. It doesn't necessarily make you speak the word or frazes all the time, so I do this before I move on to the next lesson.
Luca Gorton
January 26, 2020
for me this made learning languages fun and more easy than ever before unlike in school , but it gets 4 instead of 5 stars since you only get limited chances to get things wrong unless you pay for duolingo plus.

I'm using the free option which obviously has quite some commercials, but they're not too aggressive about it and the content is just amazing in many languages.

The only thing I don't like about this app is the portions of the lesson where you have to type what you hear. I can barely spell in my first language let along a second or third. Frustrating because I know the words and what they mean but can't spell them.

As a beginner to French I have found the lessons helpful and the reminders to do your daily lessons important. Going over similar lessons help me learn. I also like the lessons broken into topics. If new to Duolingo expect the brain to ache to begin with but it gets better with daily practise.

Can't beat free! I wish all languages had helpful, relevant culture tips (not just the comment sections), but that might not be the app's fault. 77 days in a row learning a language; gives me challenges and the competition to want to continue.

I love using this app, it's a great learning tool. They really made a intuitive experience, I can learn something in just 15 minutes. However, things like running out of hearts is something you'd expect to see in a game, not a learning tool

It's one of the useful app to learn a new language in a fun way. It doesn't directly help you able to speak a new language expertly with the correct grammer, but it did indeed help you familiar with the words, what it means and how to pronounced it.
Zeon Arios
January 15, 2020

Make sure you cancel a subscription before it recharges. Even if you haven't used the app in months, you won't get a reminder or refund after the charge. While you are using it though it's good.

This is an amazing website/app to use. I highly recommend giving this app a try before you try any other language apps that you have to pay for. The one problem I have is that on the latin based languages there is no list of the infinitive verbs and their conjunctions.

I have never enjoyed learning a language so much! This is not the first time I've tried to learn Spanish, but it has been the most effective one. Plus other resources never kept me motivated the way that Duolingo does. Fantastic app. I plan on going premium once I can afford to just to support them!

It's awesome but recently the sound doesn't work, I think it's just in my country, Iran,that's a pity, I hope it will come back,It's impossible to continue with out the true pronunciation!

I've used it to brush up my Italian, learn some basic Spanish, and most recently have thrown myself at learning French. This is more than an App, it's a Public Good of similar value to your local library.

Fun and addictive but my maxed out learning topics keep breaking even if I got my streak and did lessons I come on later in the day and they all break. It isn't fun having to put up with that nonsense.

Not terrible, but they made some changes recently that really detracted from the user experience and despite two emails providing feedback and seeking a response over the past 6 months, I've heard nothing back as to why.

The app navigation is super easy. The games are fun. It's motivating and a great way to brush up on or learn a new language. It's free to use but definitely try out the premium version. It's well worth it.

This app is being helpful to me in my efforts to learn French. I am making steady - not rapid - progress. If I wished, I could increase the speed of progress, by devoting more time daily.

Making learning a new language to fun. you learn new vocabularies with reapiting them many times during sessions. Also, good for larning how to pronounce them but not sure if it has enough grammers. I think you will need additional sources for that.

Very helpful to hear and see at same time, fast and slow speeds . Encouraging to succeed, that is built into the app, so helps you continue trying language.. But quite clunky program. But grateful for access.

Engaging and fun. The app teaches languages in an engaging and interesting way that promotes memorisation through different activities. Only criticism is that some of the lessons quiz you on things it hasn't fully taught yet.

The introduction of hearts dumps learners' lesson progress and locks them out after five mistakes. I previously gave this app five stars but I have to update my rating as this recent update makes me start looking for competing products. It is idiotic.

They changed my lingot system to heart system just when I was getting into it. Now there's no exercise button either. Lost all my lingots. Lost my streak progress and streak freeze status. No reply from the develop as well when mailed them about this. You talk a out prompting education and then use such predatory practices to push your premium service. I'd much rather pay for a face to face tutor and who charges the same amount and is far more dynamically interactive.

I wanted to learn a new language(spanish). This app is a great platform to learn the basics, I'm still progressing so I might find I can learn more advanced stuff too, but for me the best way for that is face to face learning, but none the less, brilliant app

I've tried a lot of different apps, and I can say for certain that Duolingo's UI is the most user-friendly. The ads can also be skipped, so you're not stuck with the full thing every time.

Duolingo has only improved over the years. They are very serious about their mission and put a lot of effort into implementing the development of research on learning. All that for free! I cannot recommend it enough.
Silly Sunflower

So far it's amazing! Even if you aren't paying there are great ways to learn the language you're learning. Duolingo has different levels and you can even just practice. If you have free time to learn a language don't go to YT, go to Duolingo😁

My experience is very good until now ...I enjoy learning French on this app . They do make it easy to learn any language .And yess " 5 minutes on Duolingo do can teach you a language what can 5 minutes on social media can do" ...that too without paying 🙂
Kevin Condon

When I signed up for the free trial, the ongoing cost after the 7 day trial was stated as $12.99 per month, however I have just been charged an annual subscription fee of $134. This is dishonest marketing.

The best thing about the app is that it provides plenty of repetition which is vital for learning a new language. I find myself remembering a lot more with the Duolingo method.

Duolingo is my absolute favorite language app. I have been studying for years, up to 7 different languages. Duolingo is the only consistent daily lesson tool that really seems to work, is excellent with cultural/regional reference. I lived in Russia for 6 months with my husband and our family, he can always tell when I've done my Duolingo! And sees how it steadily improves my comprehension and pronunciation of Русский язык. Спасибо всё, Duo! 💕 🇷🇺💕🇮🇹

Rad Shuvro

It's nearly perfect. But the alphabets, grammar could be brought earlier in the process, parallely with the fantastic initial steps already existing. I think most native speakers learn these first.
Carl Veness

It is a good app so I like it. It's just hard to learn when you can look at the options instead of come up with an answer by yourself. A conversation in real life doesn't offer choices for you to pick from.

I gave this app 3 stars because the original language I wanted to learn, isn't on the app. Am guessing it will be on the one you have to pay for. So sm a bit disappointed....it is a really good app though, very easy to learn. The hearts put pressure on you to get it right though.

Hearts are really bad for blind people. Although it's an overall easy-to-use app for blind people, they tend to do more mistakes simply by mistyping and it makes it impossible to learn. The app should be more fair to everyone. No one likes these hearts anyway..

But .. apparently when I first made my account, I had enabled some privacy settings that restricted my access to some cool features. When I went in to change this, it glitched and wouldn't let me. So now I can't do these cool things on Duo, and it's really frustrating. Also it loads REALLY slowly, and everything you can buy in the 'store' is worthless. I haven't loved this app.

I was happy to pay for this app after using the free version, but was disappointed that the 7.99/mth subscription was actually not monthly, they deducted a full yearly subscription at once. Guess I'll learn a few languages this year!!

It's really a good app for learning new languages, but after updating it, my app doesn't have sound for listening the pronunciations, whats wrong and how can I fix it?

Simple, fun, and an excellent way to game-ify learning a language. Using it for learning Norwegian and Spanish so far, and am loving it.

Absolutely wonderful app to learn any language. The thinking behind the app is really well thought. Repeating lessons automatically based on mistakes is a wonderful addition to the app.

Mostly great for a free app, although there needs to be clarity between when a formal or casual response is required rather than an answer being wrong, which it's not.

I love Duolingo it makes learning fun. I personally like it alot more than Rosetta Stone. It tells you what you got wrong so you can learn from it. Gives you a goal setter. I would definitely recommend this app.

Seems very good so far. My only problem is that in the language that I have selected, the font is too small and it is difficult to read the words (on the buttons)

I have used the app for less than a month and already happy with the progress. It's actually up to you if you wish to pay or learn for free. The app allows you all the flexibility.

Fun, well designed app. Ads are fairly innocuous. Not sure how well it will prep for conversation.

I like the introduction of verbs uses like como; comes; come and the examples: that not only express how to use them but also include pronunciation which I need help with.

Unusable. Towards the end of each lesson, there is a question with a fill in the blank. A typing box or multiple choices don't show up at all and causes me to have to exit the lesson uncompleted.

I really like it because it's so easy to use and understand. I'm giving it four stars because some of the pronunciatons aren't 100% accurate, but I am learning a lot. I also like that it reminds you to do your daily activity.

Easy to get into learning a language any time you want. Course content that I am doing is thorough and interesting. All I have to do is do it and there are even various incentives to help me do that. Great app .

But this new update im really not a fan of, the hearts overall?

Super helpful for learning a language. In ways it is better than studying in a class because of the repetition and the way they have you go over what you have been taught. And it is free. Score.

Easy to go at your own pace. Always the written is combined with the verbal in different ways which helps it all sink in much faster than other methods allow.

Very good app although I'd prefer to learn Spanish for Spain rather than for Mexico. It's c not th in Duolingo Spanish - when I go to Spain I'll need gracias with a th sound not the c reinforced by Duo. Would prefer a variation which allows me to practise the th sound.

The tips doesn't cover what is in the skill. Furthermore, the tips aren't show at the beginning. To fix this, it is suggested to give the tips at the first level and lesson of each skill. The bell button should be for reviews. 2. The league leaderboard may not be synchronised, I had more XP gained in that day but others are ranked higher.

The best free language learning app I have found. Learning Russian and it seems very good. The more popular languages like Spanish French German have stories that are much better than the lessons because they encourage thinking in the language rather than translation.

I am very disappointed in the app for Android. The plus version has been stuck for two days. On the typing translation test, it gets stuck.

A simple and easy to follow application that can truly help you learn a language step by step and with no more than 15 minutes per day. If you have the desire to learn and are committed to dedicate 15 minutes a day, every day, then this app can help you learn a language like no other platform
Crandon Campshure

I saw a stat saying that 34 hours on Duolingo = about one college semester of the language, and I would say that I agree. Working on Duolingo for about 10 minutes a day had helped me learn Spanish phrases and words that I can confidently use in casual conversations.
Renaldo Van Der Merwe
January 11, 2020
Duolingo is the best free language learning app available on playstore! I highly recommend it to everyone to try it out, even if it's just for fun (I bet you will struggle to stop though😉). Anyway, Duolingo - will you please add the story feature to the app?! The app is incomplete without it.

If the offline language learning and quizzes were available to everyone than I would have given it 5 stars, but except for that it is a pretty amazing and user-friendly app to use!

I like this app for the most part. I've been using it to learn Portuguese for nearly 2 weeks now. However, I must say that the health system is stupid. How am I supposed to get better if I can't take the dang lessons? It's clearly a way for them to force you to get Duolingo Plus, which adds features like unlimited health, but defeats the purpose of it being free. But other than that, Duolingo is great.

Have been using for two years to learn Spanish, really impressed with the methods of learning and the speed with which I picked it up. I'm a senior and know no other languages so feel I have achieved a lot. I would recommend to anyone including children. I learnt so much more than sitting in class.

The latest update I think, is making my Samsung Galaxy S8 not load the lessons unless I restart the app for each lesson. The owl doesn't animate on the loading screen either anymore. I hope this will be fixed soon cause I love this app.

DuoLingo is easy to use and allows me to use a few minutes of down time between engagements to learn a language. Every five minutes counts. Super flexible.

The app' gives lots of revision of words I already know. I don't think I get enough repetition of the things I fail on. Ultimately I don't think I make a lot of progress.

I really like it. I would like more grammar exercises and more pronunciation. But it's very good and very stimulate. Thank you very much.

I like the app as a way of getting started with a new language. The only thing that would make it better is if it had a way of conversing with others to practice language development.

So i have started using the app and i can only use it for as long as i have hearts. Each mistake costs me a heart. Each day i have 3 hearts. So i cannot make any progress because of this. Of course i will do atleast 3 mistakes when learning a new language. Now, all my friends have the same app installed and they don't have any hearts and can use it for as long as they want. I can get unlimites hearts only by paying 300Ron, which is not ok since all my friends use it for free.

I used to use Rosetta Stone it was borind and tedious but when I began Duolingo it was a fresh mix of learning that workes your brain in different directions to keep you on your toes. I have already recommended Duoling to several of my friends. Duolingo gets my thumbs up.

I love the learning and it is a lot of fun! The down side was the limited hearts, which made me not as active on Duolingo as much as I wanted to be, I still go on it but not as much anymore. I am on Ruby, limited hearts stop me from achieving more. I would have given it a 5/5 rating, but the limited hearts stop me from being able to continue more if I made a small mistake. Still good overall, in my opinion.

Dragon Jade

Pretty good learning although with the o's and a's at the end of the words get really aggravating being that most of the time you can't really tell the difference when people are talking fast, and I've never known a mexican to speak slow.
Maria RV

I love it because it's a fun and easy way to learn a language. It is also amazing because if you don't get a question it will keep coming back until you get it. That's why it's a 5 star rating.

Really fun. Running out of hearts suck but I can practise and get more. The stories are simple but fun to use and understand.
Katherine Crumpley

The hearts are ridiculous. You loose hearts even if you make one mistake. Like typos. It doesnt let you pick the place at which you learn. It picks it for you. It is super frustrating and I personally wouldnt recommend duolingo to anybody for this reason.

But I was able to structure it in a way that works for me and now I love it, and I'm learning so much! I get immersed in it because there are lessons to say what you see and hear, type what you hear, and type the English sentence from seeing it in Spanish and vice versa. TIP: Before starting a new lesson, ALWAYS click the lightbulb and read the info.

No typing in app Why tf would you not consider making typing in the app a thing? It's way better than just guessing from like 10 words, typing trains your brain to think for itself. This is ridiculous. Duo is good but the app just sucks because of this.

If you could make the streak freeze longer than a day (doesn't matter even if you charge extra lingots). And provide us with something utilitarian to do with our lingots. And since this app works on a global level, it would be better if we could have a communication portal with other users to understand their language even better (I'm aware of it's cons, thus a "block" option would help too). All in all, I'm not here just to blabber. I've been using this app for over 2 years now. Keep It Up!

Good app it really could've been a 5 star if it wasn't for the awful heart system. It takes the fun away from learning and penalizing someone for making a mistake is not a good teaching method. I used to use it a lot but nowadays because I keep making mistakes I'm not able to learn it as much as I used to.

In love with it! ❤️ The only missing point (in previous versions), which was user engagement, has been well handled with the help of interesting stories and tournaments, making it much more fun to use the app rather than simple lessons which become boring after some point of time.

When I first started I was learning but as things got tougher I started struggling to understand why certain phrases are used and why. Then I'd use all my stars trying to figure things out I'd get discouraged finally I just quit playing. If this app had some short tutorial videos it would help. When you're struggling to learn and it shows you're competing against other people you dont know and you drop 10-15 places it kills the moral of learning . The app just wasn't what I was hoping for.

I did not speak, read or write any French 11 days ago. Today I can read parts of the French version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and I can communicate verbally on a basic level with my French speaking friends on PlayStation Network. I have a traumatic brain injury that causes learning disabilities. Duo is easy enough and explains everything in such simple terms that learning is easy. Highly recommend

Duolingo is the top-of-mind and all-time favourite language learning app! I can use basic Spanish with friends, write and read Spanish at the level that my Latin friends say I'm good at using it. It is fun learning through the gamification. For Thais learning English using Thai version of the app, there are still many language glitches in that version. Now, the answers are strict/narrow, especially for EN to TH answers; some of your answers may be correct and more prevalent in real settings.

Easy to use Free knowledge It has a streak system to encourage continuous use It discourages mistakes by taking 1 of your 5 hearts away. If you reach zero i think its a day you have to wait until you regain them in order to restart a lesson. (It notified me when my hearts refilled) Helpful tips are in each lesson Ive not used this app for very long. Not even two weeks have I been taking french courses and i see myself using this app to fill in unused downtime.

I wanna learn Serbian, but that language isn't available. 😭 Pls add? :3 I think it would be better if you put informations about words. For example, in Russian there are 'Все' and 'Всё'. In order to make it easier for users, you should've added informations about the difference between those two words (when to use them). I'm waiting for the improvement.

Regarding French, this is, overall, a good app, but it can be totally infuriating at times. Example: when Duo asks you to translate an interrogative, like 'Do you want some apples?' there are multiple correct answers. But when you answer, 'voulez-vous des pommes?' the app can score your answer as wrong, saying that you should have answerer instead, 'vous voulez des pommes.' The app should recognize both answers as correct, the former even moreso because it doesn't rely on inflection.

Despite a few weaker points such as discrepancies in pronunciation between different lessons/exercises or grammar explanations missing with some lessons (Japanese), it is an overall a great app to accompany a more formal study of the language or to be used on its own as a hobby pastime. The app is engaging and easy to use, with adverts (free version) not being overly obtrusive. It introduces an element of competition to encourage learning as well as promotes sharing knowledge through comments.

I was dubious about Duolingo, as a free language app seems too good to be true. That being said, Duo is everything that it brands itself as. The written learning is comprehensive. The audio is slightly robotic at times but definitely understandable. There are even phrases that it wants you to speak, allowing practice for spoken word. When grading your answers duo will accept other ways to say the same thing, showing that it is an intelligent program. Overall I cannot advocate for Duolingo more

The app treats it as more of a "game" than learning app. For example, you have only so many hearts and if you mess up a few times, you're done. Also, you need to unlock courses and I think it'd be easier to choose which one(s) you'd like to do first. Otherwise, I'd recommend this to anyone up for a challenge.

Fastforward to finding Duolingo: Now this is an app I can get into! The format feels like a real game and not a lesson. You earn rewards and are modivated to return to continue your daily "streaks". This fun atmosphere in the app keeps me coming back. I really have a chance to improve now! Thanks Duo! 😊

So this app is very helpful and fun, however if you choose not to watch the ads for the free version the app starts all over again from the beginning. It's sort of annoying, so if you get answers incorrect after a certain number you run out of hearts and then you start from the beginning if you chose to not watch the ads. It's a little repetitive as well but that's common, with learning another language. Just watch the ads in case you miss some answers.

Great app without hearts, but really sucks with them. I had about 150 days without the hearts (lives). Then they showed up. You get five lives a day and then you lose one for every simple mistake. They justify the hearts by saying that you won't learn new material if you spend too much time on the app. This seems to be a flat out lie, because everything else is geared to making you want to spend more time learning, leagues, XP's, etc. The paid version has unlimited lives = real reason.

Really good! Reinforces what you just learnt, jumps back and forth between hearing and reading and makes you translate both ways.

Hi! I like your app, but I have a suggestion. Can you please add two seperate courses for Spanish: one for Latino (Mexico) Spanish and one for Castillian (Spain) Spanish? Some people might want to learn a different type of spanish than the one you offer. If you could do this, that would be great! 🌈

I appreciate that the ap is free. You can pay to get ads removed. Duolingo needs improvement to keep my interest. When you get something wrong there is no explanation of the rules or why it's wrong. You're just told the right answer. That's not very helpful for me. You're often expected to spell words in a foreign language that you may have only seen once if at all. You feel set up to fail, which feeds into the loss of hearts mechanic keeping your lesson from going on. Too many notifications.

For example, went from "hello"/"good-bye" to learning the numbers 1-10 but they weren't taught in order so I basically learnt them from repetition and elimination.

The heart system ruined it. Ever since they implemented the heart system, this app is pay to progress, despite it being heavily advertisement oriented to "keep learning free". They have definitely gone back on that for a full, max profits model. Learning a new language is about making mistakes and learning from them. Since the heart system you are only allowed five mistakes per lesson or you have to pay the in app currency to refill your hearts. I haven't progressed since this change.

I really enjoy the app but the constant changes to the Japanese course are annoying. At one point, the app had those Japanese writing exercises and they were amazing. Unfortunately they only lasted for a very short period. There should be some kanji writing exercises too. Japanese courses are often too simple. There might be just two options for the right answer and the sentence order exercises have only the words one should use, even when there're three words in the sentence.

I downloaded the app to start learning Chinese, and maybe start another language as well. Things were going fine until I decided to start hindi. It started off by prompting you select the vowel sound you hear, the big problem being that it doesn't sound out the vowel when select an option, and being new to hindi I don't know the difference between ī and i, so I was left guessing. I wouldn't be complaining if I'd made a genuine mistake, or I didn't have to wait forever for my hearts to refill.

The app has really helped me with learning new languages. The lessons are quite fun, and don't feel like just a big chore. The league system also helps, as it encourages you to do more lessons. The only complaint I have is that the lingots feel a little useless. You can get a new skin for Duo with them, and occasionally you can buy extra lessons with them, but other than that, they don't feel very important or useful. I feel like I should spend them, but there's nothing to spend them on.

I enjoy learning with this, but a recent update has drastically accelerated the breaking of eggs. I don't have a lot of time for this and I'm now spending all of it on previous lessons. I understand why it's important, but I can't learn new things if I'm constantly backtracking and only able to do a new lesson once a week at best. Please either adjust this, or make the "Strengthen" exercise useful by having it fix all broken eggs. Or ANY for that matter.

Overall a very good app to get you interested in learning a new language. Only downside is, as you progress the chapters tend to get repetitive. It needs more interactive innovative ways to check learners knowledge than asking them to type the same answers again and again for 20 times per chapter. Goal is to make the learner proficient in conversation in new language than checking if types it correctly. But a good beginner app.

I love this app. I'm currently studying Japanese. My biggest complaint for Japanese specifically is that there are lessons for hiragana, but we're kinda just thrown straight into katakana and kanji. I used separate apps to learn katakana on my own, but it'd be nice if I didn't have to use multiple apps. I should also mention that some of the phrases that we learn in Japanese are extremely rarely used by native speakers (according to HelloTalk friends). Anyhow, this app is great. Thanks Duolingo!

I personally started to use duo lingo in order to learn japanese, after it was reccomended to me recently. Thus far it has delivered, and has been enjoyable and fun to use.

If you are to learn a langauge I would reccomend using duo lingo for the reasons listed previously. (Also good luck on whichever language you are attempting to learn.)

Duolingo is the best app ever. I like it over all the other things. It helps me a lot a lot with self study for my German.

Really good app. Really enjoying it and have a nice bit of competition with the wife who's also using it, which is motivating. It's fun and well designed. My only piece of constructive criticism is: it's not clear to me in what order I should progress through the topics, as you sometimes have access to a 'subject 2' before having attempted other 'subject 1's. Perhaps this could be a feature of the 'tips'. I definitely recommend Duolingo

I have no idea if it's teaching me Latin American Spanish or European Spanish, but being a beginner, it might not matter right now. One annoying detail, is that the lessons accept the "down arrow / new line" button on the android keypad as an alternate Enter button, in addition to their "Check Results" button. Since the "new line" button is right below the backspace button, I often submit an incorrect answer when I'm only trying to correct a typo. (Are you listening, app developers?)

What I don't like is how the app is clearly accessing data from other apps on my phone to serve me ads (e.g. product search history from shopping apps). That is super creepy. Additionally, the app frequently resets during a lesson and you lose all your work and have to start the lesson over.

I completed two and it still tells me to complete a lesson. Please fix this issue. Another issue; the heart system. 1. It isn't there on my laptop. 2. It's discouraging; how do you want people to keep learning if they feel like they are doing so badly on a course? Everyone makes mistakes, especially beginners!

While this app does teach you languages, it is also forcing you to grind the same lessons over and over for too long, recently they have made it even longer - unless you pay for the subscription. This is especially bad for users already with a decent proficiency in the language who are forced to repeat the same low level lessons with a limited number of skips. This can be a language starter but if you are wanting a better return on time spent, look elsewhere. For free, it's okay.

Remove button that disables listening excercises. I keep accidentally tapping it while playing, forceing me to exit and manually flick it back on in settings. Screen rotation/flipping does not work on my galaxy tab A. Another thing that irritates me: the dumbell at the bottom right corner, which, lets you practice all skills simultaneously; the problem is that it gives me questions that I have not seen yet because once you get level 1 in a skill it unlocks the lower ones and those are these.

Just one minor thing I have to complain is the use of lives, but because the app makes it so easy to learn a language, mistakes will be rare, and hearts are also easy to regain. The most awesome thing is that it is completely free to use, while still providing tons of teaching. I love it 👌💯

One thing I would like to see for this to be a 5* rating would be to add the notes for lessons that the PC version can access. While learning Korean, I got super lost when it just threw particles into the mix of things, and ended up having to go onto my PC to check the notes on how they work, which isn't very convenient.

This is one of the best language apps I've tried - I can't believe it's free! For Latin languages, I can say that the Duolingo approach to learning works for me - those languages also include tips for each lesson that explain the grammar involved in the lesson in simple terms with useful examples. For languages such as Polish and Russian, I think some more work would need to be added before Duolingo could be considered a go-to approach for these languages - there are no tips for each lesson.

It's great for learning the basics of a language, but as you get better and unlock more tenses, it becomes a roulette. The single sentences don't give you enough context to know if you should use indicative preterite, indicative preterite imperfectum or any other past tense. This is not consistent in the app, and it drives me mad. The same goes for many adjectives, like the difference of being kind, good, nice and so on. You really shouldn't be punished for mixing those up.

I love this app. I gave it four stars because it incorporates competition and I don't necessarily want that in a learning app. It puts more pressure on me to not lose my arbitrary place in the ranks. I have enough to deal with in real life. Even the idea of worrying about losing my streak or place on a leader board is unwanted stress. Otherwise, absolutely perfect ap. I'm learning so much so quickly!

Awesome, just what I was thinking of. I can get to high levels shooting bubbles or breaking bricks, I wished there was an app that I could learn another language. My daughter said that the grandkids were using Duolingo, so I downloaded it and within a couple days knew it would be worth it to pay for the uograde. I spent a solid year learning morse code with apps, so I know I can do this. The repetative slow steps levels are just right.

The different forms of repetition are very helpful. And it's all free so it's hard to complain. The only thing I find extra challenging is pronunciation in certain languages like Gaelic and Icelandic. The sounds aren't explained very much and even in upplimentary online searches it's difficult to compensate for this. But if you already know some fundamentals or are starting an easier language than you're good to go.

I use this app to help me learn Japanese, so I can't comment on other languages. But it's overall a fantastic learning tool, though isn't the best for adequately learning the language. The only thing that keeps it 4 star is that there is a lack of grammar explanation and the insistence to use kanji. There should be little to no kanji early on, as it makes it so much harder to learn new words since the kanji characters are insanely complicated

Duolingo is an awesome app. It brings you the opportunity of learning a language for free with cool lessons. Besides that, you can enjoy the Stories, an even funnier way of learning. More than that, in the web platform you have access to dictionaries, a list of the words you've already learnt and more. Depending on the language you're learning, it also offers podcasts. To sum up, it's a complete tool to learn a new language. I can't describe how grateful I'm to Duolingo (merci beaucoup !).

One of my all-time favorite apps. For those whom education is unaffordable or inaccessible this is a great app to help learn language. It's best for adults but great for kids in that it helps them also read in their first language. This app could be improved if it had the ability to have multiple users in one account... eg: in perhaps a similar format to the way Netflix has for multiple users on one a/c. I'd be willing to pay more to remove ads for a family/group /school account.

This has been a great App for a while now, it has really helped me with learning Hungarian. But the new update has dulled the experience. Before there were more lessons per level, repeating phrases over and over, often getting them wrong, but learning from the mistakes made and progressing. Now, it has been simplified, less lessons per level with less repetition, with an XP driven promotion system to beat others on a leaderboard. Apparently learning a language is now a competition.

Great app and fun to use. Only lost a star as I think it would be helpful to have a section on phrases you will need on travelling to Italy earlier on which I personally would have found reassuring. All the lessons are beneficial though, especially for a free app & I can certainly recommend it.

I like it alot but if I had not previously dabbled in the language I would be totally lost. I wish they had something that explains the tense of words it really would be helpful. I also hate that when your out of hearts you have to wait a certain amount of time before you can play again, unless you accumulate them through practice runs. Like I said if I had not dabbled in the language in my younger years I would have thrown my phone across the room and quit.

Brilliant app for learning languages, I've learnt a good lot of Swedish and while there are faults here and there, these are quickly fixed by the dev team. The only major problem is that some of the less common languages don't have reverse courses, e.g there is Swedish from english, but not English from Swedish. However, this is does not affect one's learning significantly and I'm sure the devs already have their work cut out for them with all the other languages. Definitely would recommend.

Game is different across users -- my husband downloaded it (not the plus ver) and was enjoying it, so I wanted to try. I downloaded it as well, but mine is different! We both get ads, but I also have Hearts, which I lose with each mistake (or even a mis-click). You don't get special benefits with hearts, you just can't PLAY without them. Hearts take a long while to regenerate--this impedes learning pace, and I don't want to pay for plus when my husband has these features free.

For Japanese, Duolingo needs work. Sometimes I get Kanji I've never seen before, not spelled out. I only figure it out by elimination. After introducing "refreshing" courses, I find that most of my limited time I spend on the app is used retreading the same categories over and over, plateauing my progress. Lastly, for Japanese, social context is important. It teaches that "Domo" is an acceptable way to say thanks, but it's only for informal cases, and would be considered rude if used casually

I would rate better as I have a positive experience learning, but the hearts functionality added is unforgiving especially for anyone with audio processing issues or disabilities, and an obvious ploy to persuade people to buy pro. I understand Duo needs to make their money but it's a harsh curve for new learners who will make mistakes, or even just when learning new skills.

Great tool, easy to stick with. A bit silly (owl) but that's fine. My one complaint is the default speech speed setting. It's absurdly slow with no user ability to set default to normal.

Great tool, easy to stick with. A bit silly (owl) but that's fine. My one complaint is the default speech speed setting. It's absurdly slow with no user ability to set default to normal. Yes you can easily replay the dialogue at normal speed but the action interrupts the flow. Fix that one flaw and in my opinion it would be a near perfect app.

I've been using Duolingo on and off for years - I have difficulty sticking to habits, but I keep coming back to Duolingo because of its easy interface and intuitive language building exercises. It's been interesting watching the app develop, improve, and expand over time, and I was especially excited when they added Japanese, a language I knew but am now rusty on. Thanks to Duolingo, I'm improving my conversational skills again.

Kinda ruins the whole experience for me since you know, I don't know what sound the letter makes, and how am I even supposed to "type what I hear" when I don't hear anything,, but I don't want to give a bad review since it MIGHT just be my phone, don't see how tho.

It gets three stars because the website is far more interesting I would love to have the 'stories' and 'forums' and everything that is online on the app. The app has potential for growth and I love that more languages are being added. But adding more features from the site would be helpful for those who have no computer or can't get on the computer all the time to access the other features. I also believe a lot of levels should bundle things together such as alphabet,numbers and so on.

It's easy to use and intuitive. I like the fact that you can repeat the exercises until you pass the test at the end of each section. The audio is mixed between male and female voices and allows yo to repea it until you get it right. points system is rather complicated and when you run out of points it seems to restrict what you can do. For example the tests can only be completed if you have enough points. In the end I have subscribed for the Plus version to remove these limitations and the ads.

Duolingo can be a nice introduction to a language. It can help encourage you out of your fear of language learning. It'll get you used to some words and phrases. It does NOT show you how to use phrases in conversation. There is no immersion in the language for more than one or two sentences; there is always English around it. Hopefully anyone using Duolingo is treating it as a bridge to a more robust beginner course, rather than the only source of a language.

Mostly good. I'm no expert at language learning but I think this is quite effective at it. One thing I wish they'd change is the inclusion of a dictionary, or some kind of word list. If I've forgotten a word and want to look out up, I'll have to redo the lesson and just hope it comes up again.

Excellent and getting better. A bit harder for beginners with no knowledge. Would like to see more done, such a new fun and situational activities. The new reading one is excellent! There's also not much content regarding what you can spend your lingots on. Idioms, flirting phrases and 3 outfits is it so far. Would love a range of outfits to motivate me to earn more lingots, or a house! Would also love Thai to be available. Great for not letting my A level knowledge get rusty after years :).

I downloaded Duolingo to learn Arabic. It's a powerful learning tool for sure, and the interface is intuitive and well thought out. However, for learning Arabic, I would tread with caution, as the lessons have a bad habit of mixing Modern Standard Arabic with dialectal Arabic, which should never be done. Because of this, I've stopped using the app and moved on to a study guaranteed to reach only MSA. For other languages, this app is a no brainier.

I understand the need for ad revenue and they do a really good job of giving ads but not shoving them down your throat, but I only dislike the "lives" thing since they'll ask what a word is even though they haven't taught you so you'll get it wrong and then lose a life which you only have 5 of. On the other hand the "get 1 life" thing makes me not dislike losing lives too much.

Probably best suited to those who like learning by example rather than rules. However, I’ve found it very useful in restarting a language, Spanish in my case, several years after a full set of University courses. Pluses: -Free mode is legitimately useful and ads aren’t very intrusive. And don’t worry, you can turn off the owl’s pestering “support” and notifications. -Dev team is responsive, if slower than ideal. They’ve implemented previous suggestions like adding pages for each subject explaining relevant rules (for Spanish) and allowing words to be swapped in the build a phrase with included words exercises (at least in the phone app). They appear to continue adding different correct phrasing/translations that will be accepted. -Easy to switch between using a phone and computer browser. -I haven’t had any real glitches in a long time. I used to have issues where the app would forget I completed a lesson but oddly kept the experience points. Much may have been due to my poor data connection with a previous cellular provider. Downloading lessons (with subscription) was not very useful to me. Suggestions: - Allow editing of previous wrong answers rather than requiring reentry, especially when the mistake is a small typo -Desperately needs a greater variety of phrases. Translating something 10 times is no longer beneficial repetition but annoying rote memorization -Long term goal: exercises would ideally adjust difficulty on the fly to the user’s skill level.

In general I love the app but two things are odd (I'm using it for japanese - don't know whether it appears in other languages): 1. I've heard it is not possible to change how the speaker reads certain Kanji (symbols) but very often the other (more complex) readings are used 2. The volume levels are off. The speakers voice volumes are very very low (In comparison to other phone applications) and the wrong/correct sound is very loud - increasing volume hurts ears

Helpful in learning the formal version of a language, but not as much the common conversational version. Teaches through repetition, which is a good approach, but doesn't teach some of the challenging parts, especially verb conjugation, in a manner that is easily understood or even organized. I almost stopped doing Spanish out of frustration. Would easily give this 5 stars if it taught verb conjugations in an organized manner in the beginning.

I wish it would have you draw the characters as well, maybe that comes later on? I definitely cant write it, but can tell you what it is, so maybe thats an addition they could add someday to the program? Otherwise it would be 5 stars!

This app was absolutely amazing when I first started it. The update where you only need 5 lessons to get to the next level has seriously messed up the whole experience. I'm the type of person to need those extra lessons because without them, I won't know when I should move on and I get lost. It discouraged me so much, and I haven't touched the app in weeks. I'm seriously hoping they change it back. The more they update, it just makes it feel like some kind of game to be plowed through.

UPDATE (from 5 stars): 2 things happened since the app update. Like some mentioned already- this definitely became more of a "game" and less of an educational tool. They cut the amount of lessons you need to advance to the next level, and you don't learn or retain much. Repetition is important for retention. Secondly- despite placing 4th (and you need to place top 10 to advance to the next league), I have been stuck in the same league for DAYS. It says I've advanced, but it does not reflect it.

I thought this was extremely helpful and really fun. I'm a competetive person so the leaderboards and achievements help me to stay engaged which is super helpful. When it comes to the content itself, I thought it was very effective. They repeat the same questions in different ways to be very thorough and make sure you understand. It definetly helps when memorizing. Just one tip, if you have big fingers like me, and make a lot of typos, make sure to re-read your answer before pressing "check".

Being Dutch, it is interesting to use this app but often very frustrating, particularly with computer voices that race through a sentence with the consequence of misunderstanding the words. The translations into English are often strange to my ears, obviously 'dictionary translations' and not in English vernacular, having unusual placement of nouns and verbs. Suggestions from users are, however, mostly accepted. The Dutch is often extra long winded, not simple to translate, even for me.

I would love it but they need to take off the lives/hearts when you get exercises wrong. You only get five mistakes and then you need to either pay for premium to keep going or hope you have enough XP points to use them. That is wrong because the desktop version doesn't have that. If you have time, do the desktop version than this because it really sucks that I have to stop learning just cause I made FIVE MISTAKES. Like I'm learning a new language so of course I'm going to make mistakes.

It is a great app, especially if you want to practice vocabulary. I have a couple of suggestions: 1) the sentences are never too complicated and they rarely used vocabulary from previously completed lessons; 2) in the word selection pool most of the time the first word has a capital letter, which makes it too easy to identify. That's a pity, because many times the first word is an article and identifying the gender is a challenging part in some languages.

Great app for learning languages. I only wish it allowed for typing the answers instead of multiple choice “tapping,” which is too easy. When a sentence has seven words in it and there are only ten choices, you hardly need to know much of the language to figure it out. It would be much better if we could enter the answers from memory like on the Duolingo website. Seeing how they have this feature on the website (hence the API for it already exists) it shouldn't be too hard to make this change.

This app is quite useful but please, for God's sake, put in an easy option where we can turn speech/audio off when desired. Not having this is a large oversight. Sometimes I want to open the app and practice for a few minutes in situations where it's not appropriate to have my phone yelling at me out loud in German. Or I have music playing, and don't really want random words blaring over it. Also having to tap through 5 or 6 different buttons after a lesson (congrats, quiz, etc) is annoying.

Amazing app I remember having to do 2 years of French in school and I learnt absolutely nothing. I've now done a few months of Spanish and I've learnt a lot. But I only gave it 3 stars because the heart system is so annoying and restricts my progress (which is apparently your main priority). It's so annoying because you accidently press the wrong letter and it takes a life away and you have to either wait like 4 or 5 hours for another life or do a load of practices and ads to regain them.

Thoroughly enjoyable. The integrated learning approach is new to me and I find it works better than the traditional system of learning verb declensions and lists of vocabulary. I adore the little owl with his or her positive reinforcement. By practising little and often, I now find myself on day 307. It has just whizzed by. I almost enjoy making mistakes because the method of the same phrase reappearing repeatedly until you get it right means you are forced to understand how it works.

My review is for the Japanese lesson. I think Duolingo is a great idea and I'm glad it exists. However, I think the Japanese section is not as good as it could be for an English speaking native. There is no instruction whatsoever for how grammar works up to the point where I have reached. You just memorize and repeat what they show you. This is difficult because Japanese is very different than English in grammar. Once I picked up some language learning books things got easier to understand.

Sadly, I've lost interest in using this app for now, after I was forced into the new "health" update. I used the app less and my sessions only became more sparse, until finally, I've deleted it and wrote this review. The system is too harsh (long refresh, too few lives), and the price of premium is too high for a casual user like me. There must be a middle ground.

This app is perfect, just what I was looking for. The ads are well controlled too which is great for a free app, you can learn more than one language at a time. It's simple to navigate, quick to set up. you can compete with friends, there is a top 50 leader board which is set up so it's a random 50 people and not the universal top 50. this makes competing more fun and achieveable. Having 5 lives keeps you concentrating. The awards are fun. Only bad thing is not all languages test speaking skills

Last update was a big disappointment. You can't speak anymore in the app to know if you're pronouncing correctly, not that this feature always worked properly.

Last update was a big disappointment. You can't speak anymore in the app to know if you're pronouncing correctly, not that this feature always worked properly. But in the harder levels, there are discrepancies where a translation is correct once and not the next time. If I'm wrong, I'm ok with that, but give me an explanation or rationale so i can learn instead of guessing. Fix these features and I'll go back to five stars.

But it seems like the attempt to get data in real time and the requirements of the new UI, make the app freeze up continuously. I think the testers just download all the data(pro). And never deal with the pain.

Probably the best free tool. Lingvist , the app, is much better as it initially tests to see how much you know already. But Lingvist is not completely free, so there's that.

The messages that show up on screen are so repetitive, there should be at least 200 messages, and not that random. Example: you try 4 times to get an answer right, you should get "I'm proud of you, well done". Not for the easy words that you already knew

An absolutely phenomenal educational application. While many sites and courses build their content on technical levels, with everything being taught as machine-like and algorithmic, Duolingo is a breath of fresh air that truly attempts to imbibe fluency in its users. It's the difference between translating "Je suis content(e)" to "I am happy" and understanding "Je suis content(e)" as "Je suis content". To any one searching for an aid to learning language, with ample practice, Duo is the way.

The best way to learn a new language that I've ever tried! I am not good at learning languages, but I actually find myself remembering the lessons from Duolingo whereas I never could remember anything using other methods. My ONLY complaint is that for Spanish it can't understand me when I say "Uno, dos, tres" even though I'm pronouncing it correctly - I've had my boyfriend whose first language is Spanish try and it can't understand him either; it's just a glitch. Overall love it though!

Engaging and fun way to learn. I am English speaking and use for learning French. Good variety of learning techniques: listening, repeating back, fill in the blank, translating English to French and french to English, typing and speaking with microphone. Able to turn off microphone for one hour if unable to speak that moment or turn off listening if unable to use audio at that time. Very thoughtful techniques and tips for learning. Useful phrases/sentences. Definitely 5 star language app.

I enjoy the stories for extra credit. Be sure to log into web page for content that's not on the app, like stories, dictionary, learned words. It's the first app I open in the morning and the last before bed. I m paying the $10 for unlimited use. Best investment for my mind all year. Gracias Duolingo,

Previous version, if you didnt want to grind you could test out of a level. That was better because users could move on when ready. Now it is basically just a flash card game app, not a true language course. I've canceled my subscription.

I am trying Russian and I found it very frustrating that the initial section labeled "alphabet" actually did not teach the alphabet! I'm wondering if there is an error in the app and that section is mislabeled. I've had to teach myself the alphabet elsewhere. Also, some of the other languages have grammar lessons that you can read to help understand the language better but so far Russian doesn't have that option. Otherwise the lessons are fun and interactive, although the vocabulary is a bit odd

Duolingo has been a great learning experience for me. The UI looks great , the ads aren't terrible, the community is very positive, and progression to a next level feels earned. My two criticisms are that I saw no way to have crowd sourced lessons made available in app (which would be useful for specialized fields of work) and that "on the surface" community interaction in the app is very limited; Having the ability to send "props" to others in your same ranking tier would improve this.

I've had a lot of fun with Duolingo! I like the little owl's encouraging messages and the reminders to practice aren't too invasive or insistent. It sounds dorky but this is honestly the first time in my life where I don't mind being advertised to because I get to choose if I want to see some of them and get gems and hearts to practice more as a reward. I love how it gets you used to switching quickly between English and Spanish, both written, spoken, and visually understanding.

The best language learning application I have ever used. It's free and the material is fantastically done to help you learn fast and remember. It has a huge list of languages. There is one ad at the end of each lesson. So they dont bug you every second. Definitely worth more than 5 stars.

I started studying Japanese with Duolingo, and I must say I was pretty happy with my studies and planned on continuing them on the app. But then, my account was switched to A/B testing, which makes the app into a freemium app. It says it's free, but you have to pay to actually achieve something, which sucks, and there's no turning back for my account. You can google what I mean. I am not going to use this app anymore, and I advise you against using it as well.

I like reading stories, though I find it really offensive to read the dialogue #6 (in taxi). Please, either change the topic or let people read next stories without it, because I can not reach next chapter. Looking forward to updates! Thank you for attention!

Also you can't see all the lessons in a group ( ex you used to click on "basics" and it would show you what you were gonna learn in every lesson) and the progress quizzes used to be free so you could skip things you already knew..

The heart feature they have added is useless - if it is my goal to learn a language in 3 months and I'm limited to 10 mistakes a day I'm not going to get very far! Looks like people who have an old version of the app don't have this problem too, which is even more frustrating!

For a free platform, it's not bad. But, the phrases used (Spanish) to teach the language are weird, and sometimes just unnatural. Also, don't like the leagues, it makes it more about racking up points instead of learning the language.

A brilliant app for languages in my opinion. Last year I tried learning Japanese with Babbel (I think) but the just threw words at me, not understanding how the alphabet worked, unlike this which is doing quite a good job of it. I do have one problem though, when faced with the puzzle to choose which sounds fit with each letter, pressing the hiragana letter first causes the sound to be played, which I hope will stop after a while or if there is a setting to turn off.

I'm a big fan of Duo, but (re)introducing the health system in the app makes me totally disappointed (and the app unusable, IMO). I was using the app both on ios and android an I have to say that being punished for my mistakes in the ios app made me uncomfortable all the time. So I learned using the android app but today the hearts appeared in the android version also. Now I'm really thinking to delete the app! Could you pls tell me what are your intensions with this health/hearts system?

I am content using the free portion of the app and putting up with the Ads. But now they have "updated" to this heart system. Essentially you are allowed 4 mistakes (hearts).

I love how you can change your goal if you are not ready for a higher time limit. Also, it is amazing how much I have learned in the past few weeks. On the heart count (your lives) you can practice to earn even more hearts! I love this app a lot and recommend it to everyone. Thank you to the developers because you made a great game for kids of all ages.

I've been using this app for years, starting with the duolingo website version. I haven't always stuck with my lessons, but when I have I've made noticeable progress in my chosen language. Even when I stopped for over a year, I hadn't forgotten what I learned. Duolingo uses the same method as the very expensive Rosetta Stone computer software (immersion), and they do it for free. Absolutely 5 stars.

This is the best app to learn a new language! You don't need to pay for any lesson, the application is simple and easy to navigate. I have considered buying the Plus version, the exercises and offline lessons are great, but honestly, not too much appealing. I think if the application had some grammar, tips or explanations ("OK, you need to speak like this, and the reason is that") the Plus version would be more interesting. It could be a real plus, but the app is already awesome.

The app has a good design and the amount of languages is huge. I appreciate the effort and I am using it for a while now. The only thing that holds me back from buying an ad-free version are the boring and redundant exercises. Even at higher levels of one topic in turkish, I am still, for the millionth time, filling out stuff like "Elephants and cats" or "I am eating fish". I wish there were new words or sentences in levels from 1 to 5. And I dont want to write out stuff in english.

Other than that it is a great app for learning new languages.

Comments relating only to version I have used, which is French. Comments here relate to my experience with the first level. Very easy to get into. Mix of 'written' and verbal excellent in linking words and pronunciation. I had learnt the language to the old gce 'o level' and used it a little in leisure travel and business introductions (though never in negotiations) and was greatly encouraged by how quickly it prompted my recollections within the different topics in the programme modules.

Great app for learning a new language. Lessons are quick and the ads aren't terrible - just one at the end of each lesson. The only thing keeping me from giving it five stars is the speaking portions; I'm taking Korean, so I don't know if the other languages are like this, but the lady talks way too fast. There's no option for her to speak more slowly, or to say the sentence in parts. It'd be helpful if you could practice the sentence in parts more slowly before trying to repeat the whole thing.

I haven't left a review on an app in 7 years, so the fact that I'm leaving one on this says something. The only complaint that I have is after every lesson, it asks you to join premium. Generally I don't mind ads, but constantly asking me to buy something I don't need is annoying. Plus, you can't skip through lessons you already know without premium.

All fall short when compared to that unique fun and game experience it brings to the table.

Good number of languages available, for now I have been going for German, Spanish and Chinese.

This app is perfect if you want to learn a language for free. It makes us practice skills thoroughly in a fun way. I personally am a Non-Plus user but actually I don't really mind all the ads since they're not videos. I think that the hearts system is actually pretty beneficial for users since along with making us practice skills, it also makes us know which skills we need more pracfice for. I love the Duolingo stories since they're pretty interesting and help us learn new words. Great app.

Sad to say I'll now be uninstalling this app as the latest update forces you to lose hearts if you make a mistake. This will lead to paying for something I already see ads for. A universal truth in life is humans learn through their mistakes. Penalising your mistake when trying to learn is just wrong. Sadly then, goodbye Duolingo. You ruined it.

Now, you get punished for mistakes, even genuine typos or background sounds that mess with your spoken attempts. I don't think treating the learning experience like a game of candy crush is very helpful. I get anxious as I lose hearts, and tend to look up answers on Google which is making the process slower and much less fun.

A great app to get your feet wet in learning a new language. Sometimes, however, it is not always accurate. For example, in a "match the pairs" part of the Italian portion, it asks to match the English words with their Italian translation. Well the final two remaining were "Prego" which means "you're welcome " in English, but the only remaining option to select was "Thank You". This could be very confusing to many people!

Great practice. I already had some small experience with the language and knew a few words and conventions. I'm not sure how well it works if you had zero background. But this has been an excellent refresher! I'm using the free option, which means if a word comes up that I don't know, I lose a "heart." Once you lose 5 hearts you're pretty much done for the day, though the app is generous with giving you tokens which can buy more hearts (gained via experience). But overall I'm pleased!

This makes failure impossible to avoid when you are supposed to translate what you hear, and you can't even hear anything. This makes you fail lessons and interrupt the otherwise enjoyable learning experience in an annoying way. A 5 star app without this issue.

It is simple to use and short lessons allow you to study for a short time or for a longer duration on any given day. The structure of the progession encourages a user to keep coming back to study.

It's sort of addicting because of the leaderboards, the streaks, and the multiple levels for each lesson. Helps to keep me motivated to finish learning the whole thing. I do think that some of the voice clips are cut poorly though. It's sometimes either cut too early or an little extra sound that shouldn't be there is left in.

The app is great... except for one major flaw: there are NO grammar notes on anything other than French, Spanish and German. I am not learning any of these languages, and I recently discovered that there are grammar notes for EVERY language on desktop. It was simply mindblowing to me, after just guessing for so much time. It should be as easy as copy and pasting, yet here we are. It's unacceptable, it's like trying to bake a cake without the instructions.

The fastest and easiest way to learn a new language! The progress report gives just enough incentive to make sure I log in every day to complete a couple lessons. The only problem I have, is that the competitive rankings are so large, it's a list cause to try. Five days into the week, I have 150 or so xp. I'm in 26th. Second and third sit at about 350 xp. First has 1500. So placing high is pretty difficult. Even placing high enough to advance to the fourth bracket is pretty involved.

I don't actually begrudge the hearts system at all. If you don't want to lose hearts, it's easy to check your answers online before submitting, and you can always get hearts back through practice sessions, which are genuinely worthwhile anyway. The only downside is the app makes no attempt (so far, anyway) at explaining the grammar rules/linguistics to you, so you have to figure that out for yourself. Also, there is the occasional glitch, for example the audio may not play first time round.

However I've been getting very annoyed for the last several weeks to have my streaks broken and have to do them to repair instead of continuing with the next lessons.

I would understand that once every few months you take quizzes but it's been happening every day for weeks. Please fix

But there's also a few things I hope you could add. 1- how to correctly pronounce and write the letters. (especially symbol languages like Chinese) not in a lesson but on the side. 2- add suggestions for translated books, movies, pics,... Etc. For the learned language. 3- try to make the word's voices less robotic and more like native speakers. Thanks

I like that the lessons, they only take a few minutes, and they have added conversational stories. I have recently encountered a few issues. I complete lessons but it doesn't register with the app or I buy a streak freeze and the next day my streak is back at zero. Not major issues but little things that I like to use to keep me hooked and dedicated to the app.

I'm learning Spanish, an easy to learn language according to pop census, and I will put in the right word or have a minor typo and the app will see it as a total screw up and cost me a heart. It's extremely frustrating and holds you back from learning to your full potential. This problem also holds you back from ever considering paying for the education if it can't even deliver it properly

It's really effective and effecient, the app takes time to make sure you grasp concepts,spelling , pronunciation and accent of whatever language you decide to learn. Using the hearts to learn is a little disadvantaging when they run out but basically it's an impressive app.

This is hands down one of the best ways i have discovered to learn new languages.

I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn new languages.

It's helpful for learning vocabulary & it teaches sentences, but it doesn't explain grammar and verbal conjugation well. With languages like Japanese this is important because it's nothing like English. Kanji on'yomi, & kun'yomi are also ignored. Even though sentences are written completely in Japanese in later lessons, the chance you'll be able to read it in silence is almost nothing. Formality isn't mentioned either.

Overall, I am loving this app. Where was it when I was in school? However, I am running into some bugs. I am unable to work on Chinese Greeting 2 because the sound is not properly working in that lesson. There have been other times where occasional words didn't make the sounds (mostly with Chinese names) but I had already learned how they were spoken so could continue. In this case, I can't hear what sound the characters are making.

But I feel like I have a better grasp on it now (after a few weeks) than an after entire semester at school.

This app is pretty good and has a lot of languages to choose from. However I cant say it's the best to rely on for learning a new language, as learning a language is all about exposure to conversing with other people. Still, this app gives a lot of words and phrases to know. It even explains how the language works and other grammar rules within the language. Which is why I rate this 4/5 stars. Would be five if it taught more common phrases, that would be a little more helpful at the beginning.

It would be better if it was able to be used when you're offline, but I understand. 💚

It keeps you engaged, learning a new language is about repetition, at first it will seem slow, but after a while it will start throwing some curve balls at you, like similar sounding or written words; it has a nice pacing system and the community gets to chip in with comments on the lessons you are taking. you are both learning how to speak the language and it's grammar and structure, i recommend you give it a go.

My girlfriend uses this to learn Spanish, which is prett good for the most part. But I am learning Korean and the lessons, from this app, are not that great.

I tried It seems many people love this app. Maybe it's just me; I'd like more basic instruction and less quiz. And when I've blown a lesson, I'd hope to get remedial on that topic, rather than being quizzed on basic vocab; after 75 days and over 75 hours I can generally get cat, dog and monkey correct, but I never really get irregular verbs. I may try again sometime, by which time it will be from the very beginning, but while I'd love to learn more I can't devote multi hours daily.

Its a great language learning app. I would have given it a 5-star rating if it was not for the fact that, the app developers did not add a section for users who were completely new to a language they were about to learn by taking them through 1. The sounds of the language they are learning. 2. How to blend the sounds to form syllables and words. 3. How to decode words in order to read phrases and sentences.

This is an extremely helpful app and all the lessons you automatically get actually teach you the language. It's super easy to follow along. And it's really fun competing against everyone! I do not recomend using gems to buy their extra lessons tho, because their extra lessons dont actually teach the new words to you. They just have you unscrambling sentences and throw a ton of words at you. Its unlike the rest of the game, because the rest of the game actually tries teaching you the language.

Duolingo was an amazing app, would've given it 5 stars a couple months ago. But the latest updates do not promote language learning like they used too. It's like they took away everything that made this app work. I used to actually retain information with this repetitive practices and high daily goals. Now goals mean nothing and lessons are short and not memorable. Would even pay for those features in the future. Right now I want to abandon it.

I love this app, BUT I can't give it more than one star when it doesn't work right on a Samsung phone. I'm stuck in a low level of "Habits" in French, because a "fill-in-the-blank" exercise has no words. Also, when you do an upgrade to the entire app, please, be sure that it is thoroughly tested prior to release. The pronunciation part included is great, but there is no audio so it is a guessing game that is almost useless.

I really like this app. It's helping me walk through languages that I've been wanting to learn, like German, French, and Russian. But there are some bugs were I'm not getting my achievements, and I don't like the heart system to where if I get one wrong I lose a heart, and after I lose all of them, I have to wait 4 hours to keep learning. I really preferred the last update where the hearts weren't there and that I could continue learning without having to wait a certain amount of time.

I noticed that a lot of French words are being pronounced very wrong by the app. I am part French so I know what it's supposed to sound like. Further I am a little disappointed that all the updates that are coming for French aren't coming for Norwegian as well. I really could use some grammar tips for norwegian from time to time and those new stories that just came for French would be a great addition for Norwegian, too.

I've completed one of the 'stories' 3 times but it keeps freezing at the end of it each time so I can't complete it, get the points and move on to the next set. Also it's maddening that I have to scroll past so many lessons I've done in order to get to the most difficult ones, which are the ones that have most value for me.

I was enjoying this app until they decided to change the way it works. You no longer can learn at your own pace because they've changed it to a life-based video game style system. I don't know anyone who learns new content in less than five tries. It disrupts the flow because you can no longer move forward and have to wait for these lives to regenerate. Either you want to teach and have content stick, or you want to be a game.

The language app I wish I had used before I visited a foreign country. Only 4 stars because the response to improvement suggestions seems basically non existent: suggestions I thought of had been suggested by others 3 & 5 years ago (include genders for appropriate vocabulary words on the list, be able to mark vocabulary you want to practice, be able to go through vocabulary flashcards) without any changes. The rest of the app is pretty enjoyable, though.

Effectively useless if you don't want to pay. The heart system in this app only allows you to make 5 mistakes before before you're forced to either quit your lesson or refill your hearts with in game currency, or you can buy that premium version for UNLIMITED hearts. Hearts do refill themselves, but take I believe about 5 hours per heart so good luck having a long learning session. If you dont mind spending the money it's great, otherwise dont waste your time and use another app.

Incredibly fast learning and fun. Wanted to be able to speak Spanish with neighbors and friends. This app is in small segments that are quick, progress logically, throw in some grammar and provide interesting repetition. I absolutely love this app and have been encouraging many others to use it.

It's a wonderful app, lets you go at your own pace, lessons are replayable so you can go back any time with unlimited replayability, it's responsibly programmed so it seems to remember what you are getting wrong repeatedly and focuses more on those lessons until you get it right, teaches great vocabulary and light grammar, based on how far you want to go you can learn how to properly communicate, or just learn the basics and go with that. It's amazing, 5/5 definitely, it's a great piece of work.

As a refresher course, I would prefer less repetitive lessons with more emphasis on building vocab. I do like that speaking, reading, listening and writing are all developed all the time. It does seem that grammar is more beneath the surface rather than out front and I'm not sure if that's best because some "why"s go unmentioned. However, you can get that free elsewhere with most languages. Leader boards are motivating and get you to less familiar material faster, which is the point.

Honestly, I really like Duolingo. I've been using it for French and Japanese and it's pretty been great (though only when supplemented by other learning).

I had to change my review after loosing my streak, because this app is more than happy to give you notifications for many things except properly execute reminders. The worst part is that it agrassively promotes it's premium package when you DO lose your streak and seems to be on purpose that it conveniently fails to warn or remind you of daily practice. Honestly i don't care about the points, but the obnoxious premium adds get tiring realy quick. Aside from that it' 's still a good learning tool

Update... did really love the app. But the health system is counter productive to my learning pace and the premium subscription I tried for a week and had no problem earning gems. The health system just feels like a way to railroad people into the paid version... the leaderboard doesn't separate free app users from premium so you cannot compete in the leaderboards at all as you are penalised with health. Paid users are not. Disappointed. Loved the app before. Now I'm looking for an alternative

Love the app and the ability to learn a new language in a Finn way and thanks for listening to the feedback. I like the new feature to revise and reinforce past skills but they crack too quickly at the moment as I'm revisiting old skills every couple of days instead of moving forward. I just had three skills crack that's going to take me a day and a half to refill. I do like the new feature for learning you just need to tweak the speed.

Excellent free language app- I am having great results making use of tips and explanations available with each lesson, and following suggestions offered (eg. Using headphones to hear the language, writing out sentences at the end of lessons). Adore the story lessons. Have used Duo as the base to grow my language learning around, and I use it almost daily, happily.

It was good when it was completely free but now they have changed it and you need to pay to learn properly.

Your mission is to keep learning fun and free,as you said before but now it's neither fun nor free because it MAKES users to join plus edition to keep the app fun! Your new update does not concentrate on user experience so it lacks the joy of using the app.

Was great, but completely ruined by the last update. I actually recommend this to friends and upgraded to plus, but have downgraded and will probably uninstall it. Since the last update, it 'undoes' your progress on previous levels, even if you use it every day. It has literally undone a level immediately after I have redone the progress on another one. I can't learn anything new because I am constantly having to go over old stuff. Terrible!

The way how Duolingo learns you a language is in the beginning weird because you have to know a thing before, they're directly testing you without a first proper introduction of the language. Another thing, I want to learn Slovenian but it doesn't exist (in the course list), but what does exist is Klingon and High Valyrian, ok I get it, it has probably more interest for people than Slovenian but if want to go to Slovenia than you've to learn it somewhere else. But excluding this it's a good app

Had one complaint about settings and I'm pretty sure it wasn't fixed but I found a way around the problem. Although every once in a while the pronunciation is a little off. Spanish is my GFs first language and we have laughed pretty hard a couple times at the way the computer reads a word and it occasional makes me wrong on a listening exercise cuz it's not saying what it wants me to hear. But its rare. Not enough to disrupt my lessons. I give you 5 stars for bringing the world closer together.

I believe this app is an effective and fun way to learn a language! I am using it to help in my Spanish class. The gems which you can use to buy things in the store do not cost money, but are earned, and the leagues which your rank in depends on your XP is a great idea, in my opinion. The only con of this app for me is the listen and type the Spanish you hear thing. It works well, but it is very much a pain when trying to spell or sometimes hear what is being said. But overall, an alright app.

Bad for learning to write Japanese. An integral part of Japanese learning, but with the lessons randomly asking for Kanji or hiragana without ever telling you which to use, you are then forced to use the word banks if you don't want to loose hearts, instead of being able to try and write to better learn. It soured my learning fast. Shame because that aside the app is good. But until that major problem is fixed, I'm keeping that review as is. Hope this will reach Duolingo staff.

I've been an avid Duo user for almost two years and it's been very useful. I've been learning Spanish on the App with the help of my Venezuelan wife. The problem I've ran into with Duo is the new heart system. Their new system doesn't allow you to correct mistakes without it costing you hearts and you can lose all your progress on your work. Many of the mistakes are actually mistakes on Duo's part. When you were allowed to correct mistakes this was no issue but now I'm looking into other apps.

For example: "Yo soy Juan." The 'Yo' is not needed, since 'Soy' Already means 'I am'. I'm just assuming that you might say 'Yo soy' to be more formal, maybe? That's what I don't know. Otherwise, 5 stars!

The app tracks your progress and gives great insentives to practice. If I could request an additional feature, I'd like an audio/visual section specifically designed, to track nothing but my previously learned words. That way, I can repeatedly review words I struggle with or may forget at my own pace, not just when its auto suggested within the app

Some problems of this app is that it can loose track on how many hearts you have, or that it doesn't tell you where your correct position on the leaderboard is. And sometimes lessons can be very difficult to finish, and can lead to keeping you softlock in a position in lessons. But either less, this is a great app! Keep on evolving!

Leaderboards make people more competitive, but there's no way to root for each other or learn about others so that they are more than just numbers...

Thanks for making the stories available on the app!! It works great. When will the 'time practice' be available on the app? Currently it only works for desktop version. Since we have to upgrade the feature with lingots, it's only fair that we are able to use 'time practice' in all devices.

I can't believe this is free! And now I can't believe I went premium, except wait, of course I did! This is a fabulous thing in my life, and when we go to the Netherlands next year, I'll be able to read Dutch rather proficiently and hold some basic conversations. The downside, of course, is that you need to USE a language to really know it, and by that I mean converse in it. But I already find myself reading websites in Dutch with relative ease after about 10 months. Dank je wel, Duo!

I don't know yet how effective it is or if I will understand French construction rules on top of words and phrases, but that is my hope. It would be helpful if there was a more accessible syllabus or map of progress for the whole course, but so far it is functionally useful

This app is pretty good. Excellent way to either get a refresher course of a language you took long ago or to learn a language from scratch. The only reason why i didnt give it 5 stars is because of the lessons being a little too easy and repetitive. I guess it helps to drill the words and phrases into your head but trying to match a word in one "quiz" then translate it right after just seems kind of boring and easy to me.

There is an option to follow other people, but we just can't communicate with them. It sucks. And the Shop should be upgraded. There's nothing except for a few attires and streak freeze. I've got tons of lingots but nothing to do with it. Maybe have some themes that we can buy on the shop or small extra facilities.

Doesn't completely replace traditional instruction but does a good job. Robot voices for spoken French, Japanese, and German makes it difficult to know if pronunciation accurate but is a relatively ok stand-in for humans speaking. Grammer lessons would be a very welcome addition.

(11/2019 degraded):I really hate the update that disregards learning in place of making it easier to earn crowns(gamification)! You now complete 4 lessons to earn a crown. I have a ton of crowns, but haven't learned much! I felt like I was achieving something before, but now I feel like this app is only a game!

If you want to practice languages anywhere efficiently I highly recommend this one! Excellent usability. It's surprisingly simple to use with its neat design and layout unlike many apps. The exercises, scores and rewards are strategic and motivating. The best free language learning app I've come across. Duolingo is the nearest to being entirely free since the free version includes full capacity of ALL its lessons, while other programs don't let you access full lessons for free.

However, when listening to spotify on headphones on my way to work and doing duolingo lessons at the same time, the volume of the music is always turned down for a few seconds every time something is said in duolingo. This is extremely annoying! Can you please, instead of only giving us the option to mute sound effects, also implement an option to completely turn off all in-app sounds? This would be very much appreciated! Cheers

The app is great yet the developers force you to learn a new language in the most difficult-way-possible. Translating from Eng to Spa and then back! Sorry, you learn by immersion, "NO TRANSLATING ALLOWED!" You first learn to "think" in Spanish; then "speak" in Spanish and, finally, you "type" in Spanish. NO ONE THINKS IN English when typing or speaking in Spanish, that's just not done. When speaking ANY language Spanish/English, YOU "think" in that language so no mistakes are made.

Just a quick heads up: For most languages, this should NOT be your only learning resource (can say for certain for Jap and Korean, haven't tried any other languages yet). It's a perfectly good tool, but it cannot teach you grammar, syntax, or general faster ways to learn that alternative resources, like an actual teacher, can. If you really want to learn a language, you'll very likely need a bit more than just this. Also, the spam to my email is a bit annoying but that's easy to fix haha.

I have been using this app for some years. The ads did take away time especially for daily lessons so I upgraded to paid version. This app is really fun to use! I like the rotation of different types of modules and the quick lesson format, both of which keep me engaged. Chasing next level promotion zone is a natural reaction and makes it feel like a game. UI is beautiful and mobile game like. I don't like memorizing but this all makes it easier.

It's getting more and more useless every new update. Often doesn't synch properly. The tolerance to typo doesn't make sense and doesn't depend on how close they are in the keyboard. Before adding new features, please fix the offline feature first. I am running out of patience as it's been almost a month.

I have NEVER loved an app as much as I love Duo! And the fact that it takes the form of an actual animal, the owl. ❤️ Duolingo. The stories are really helping me pick up the language faster, that too subconsciously. I just remember A LOT OF WORDS just from doing the stories. Adding more stories would be helpful. The leaderboards end at the Diamond league, but I wish they would work on continuing the leaderboards, as in adding more leagues, it kind of motivates you to practice on a daily basis.

Great little app, feels like I'm actually learning and I've always struggled with motivation when learning a language but the app helps. Couple of issues, would like a bit more explanation of rules of a language, I feel like I'm memorising terms rather than understanding them. This is especially the case with masculine and feminine terms, as the app has simplified this to "masculine words end in O, feminine words end in A" and it's not even true.

I chose this app por espanol y It works. However after the first few lessons it becomes rather tedious with artificial difficulty. You see, when you make a mistake it costs a heart on 5. They take 4h to replenish. The first lessons require 10 correct correct responses to move forward. Now that I'm in the second half it takes 20. I want to learn more concepts not repeat but I'm gated until I complete the lessons 4 times. That's 80 correct responses with the same core set of new words. Too much!!

My only complaints are that each new topic section just throws random words at you that hopefully you can figure out what they are according to context clues without them teaching you what they are before taking hearts away for you obviously not knowing, and that you don't seem to get much conversational practice which would be the most applicable learning I would think. Other than that, I really like it.

Generally useful in sharpening vocabulary if you already have some knowledge of the language. It could be improved by adding more actual teaching modules. It would also be better if they used the female voice for statements which would likely be made by a female and the male voice for sentences which seem relevant to a male. At the moment it seems random.

It's an alright language learning app. But it could benefit from a little more structure, as well as actual alphabet and writing practise. In addition to this, there's the program not letting me go back to any previous lesson to do it over. Not being able to revisit past lessons is a huge let down and really hampers my learning. Someplace to take and store notes would be great too. Less of a criticism and more of a want, I would love to see more fantasy languages added. Like Tolkien Elvish!

This app is a great learning tool. I successfully learned 25 words, definition and proper usage, in 29 minutes. The short lessons let you learn on the go for free. No dealing with large course fees, transportation, due dates or the pressure of daunting, time consuming assignments. They're quick, effective lessons that won't overwhelm or interfere with your other daily responsibilities. Hopefully they'll branch out into other subjects as well.

So far, very easy to use and im learning quickly. However, the ads are very annoying and you only get so many chances to get the answers right or you have to wait until the next day. I signed up for the free trial and its a lot better. I find that there is no explanation of words before hand, you're left to figure it out on your own. You also have to spell correctly to complete challenges. Its more of a bunch of quizes than a relaxed learning experience. But i am learning, so there's that.

Totally discouraged at Checkpoint 1 Lessons have been great. App a handy tool for completing lessons away from computer, where it's easier to do lessons and other language activities. Got to Checkpoint 1 and was tested on everything except what was covered in the previous lessons. Whole paragraphs of text contained maybe 5 words that had been taught in preceding lessons. No way to skip Checkpoint. How depressing to study hard and be tested on everything except what you've learned. Nearly quit.

¡Mucho gusto! Duolingo is a way of learning languages and doing so in the go. But it's more than reading the words. You can learn key phrases, practice speaking them, listen to podcasts, the features are pretty deep for a learning app. Therefore, if you want to brush up on a new language or refresh after some time away from speaking that language, Duolingo is the best app to date...a modern day Rosetta Stone for the Digital Age.

To arrive to level 5 on a subject you just keep writing the same sentences over and over. There aren't too many different kinds of exercises (specially as you progress in the course). It becomes tedious. If you don't wanna write there isn't a listening section where you can listen all the vocabulary or sentences you are learning, you have to download the app of tinicards.

even though improvements can still be made to certain translations, or even some of the flow of language learning (the learning curve can be too steep), it is overall really fun to use! its highly interactive, hence it encourages continued usage, which helps in picking up a new language, even if not the most efficient (can be improved!) it would be nice to have a DARK MODE or the likes of it to aid usage in dark areas.

I am writing this review not to praise all the great qualities of the app but to complain about something that discourages many users, the heart system. Get rid of it ! It is a disgusting attempt at making learners buy duolingo plus. It is also ridiculous that this system only applies to some languages and not others, meaning the developers can very easily get rid of it. That being said, if it weren't for this, I would recommend the app.

Great app... But some irritating bugs meaning you can't complete some lessons on the phone. Certainly in the French (from English. End of section 2 and section 5 at level 2.

It's not even like the lives recharge quickly, no, it takes 5 hours! If you loose all your lives, and you don't finish any lessons, that's it, your streak is done for, and you can't practice!

This is a very good app for learning different languages. It has many different languages to choose from. I rated this four stars instead of five because although it's very helpful, most of the sentences they teach you, you wouldn't need to know or they are things that you wouldn't normally say. I think they should teach you basic sentences that you would use everyday rather than something like "lots of young men live in America" or something similar to that.

However, I have thousands of gems accumulated that I can't spend because I've already bought the few items that are on offer in the shop. I also don't think it is helpful for learning a language so much emphasis on translation exercises, especially translation exercises to the language in which one is already proficient.

But now I lost interest in it because of it's new feature that allows you to go to the next checkpoint only when you have completed all the 4 levels of each chapter in the previous checkpoint.

Duolingo does practicing a language very well. The flash card style makes memorization easy. My issue is because the style does not get into grammar you don't know why you conjugate or change forms of words in other languages. I love languages and have learned pieces to talk with friends as well as formally study both Mandarin and German. I am planning a trip to Japan and wanted to pick up a small bit of familiarity, but the Japanese language is too complex for the simpler style Duo uses.

So when I finally gotten to that question, I clicked the "right" answer, and I had 3 lives left. So I clicked the other one. Wrong one, keep in mind that there was only TWO options.

I have enjoyed the program despite it being too slow to introduce new vocabulary. I like the choice of two radically different native speakers. It has made me step back and just listen and my accuracy in typing what is said has greatly improved. By jumping around I have managed to keep it interesting while working through the extensive repititions.

I'm a beginner learning French and I love this app. I am quite competitive so this app is great for my learning because it allows me to "compete" with others in getting to the next "level". I also really like a possibility of practicing different nasal sounds that are so difficult about French (there are exercises that get you to recognise very similar sounding combinations of letters and there are also opportunities to pronounce words and phrases where it tells you if you got it right or not.

Good place to start. Lessons are oddly paced but it's good for a totally free option without obstructive ads. where it fails, the community helps. The Leagues are a good motivator, but sometimes you don't get a reward for placing #1. Would love an option to toggle keyboard/word bank use like you can on desktop- typing it out forces me to know exactly what the sentence means. However, with word banks, I can get several words wrong and still get the question right, leading to slower learning.

I've only been using the app for approximately five days, but I really enjoy the fact that you can work at your own pace. It provides a lot of practice, even giving you more advanced practice in order to gain lost lives (I sometimes lose lives on purpose so that I can do the extra practices). My only hitch (and thus the four stars) is I wish it would connect you with individuals that know the language and are trying to learn your massive language so that you could help each other.

Really useful app. However, there are bugs that are making this app pretty much impossible to make progress on. It will have you matching words but give you choices that arent correct, and since the matching sections dont cause you to lose any health, the only way around it is to exit the lesson and lose all progress, which also means i cant make any progress whatsoever. Ive reported this issue several times but nothings change. The app was fun while it lasted.

You learn a foreign language without even noticing it 😆 Personally I'd love a bit more grammar (a lot of it, actually) but then again, Duolingo helps you getting accustomed to the new language well enough so it's up to you to go even further..., like, for instance, to study it at any superior (academic) level you'd like. And, quite important, it sports such a lovely interface :) Great job, Duolingo!

Fantastic way to learn another language I have had a REALLY hard time in other classes and programs learning Spanish, but this is actually enjoyable and game like that it makes it easy to learn, it's also really repetitive to where the farther you get in you feel like you naturally know the words, and it's legitimately free where you're not trapped into not exceeding without upgrading. Highly reccomend.

I have been charged as a premium member, something I didn't sign up for. When trying to reach Duolingo to fix the situation I have had no luck. I could find no way to get in touch with them. After multiple tries, I did reach Google, as the charge went through a Google account. They were unable to help me either even though I reached out prior to the finalization of the bank transaction. I am very unhappy. This is completely unacceptable and the worst customer service I've encountered.

Since they added the heart feature the app isn't enjoyable anymore. You can only get 5 wrong answers before basically locking you out of the app. You have to wait hours to get one heart back, then that's only one wrong answer before getting locked out again. It makes starting a language almost impossible because everyone is going to make mistakes starting out, they're not going to want to keep going if the app tells them they can't keep learning because they failed too many times.

Duo Lingo as a service is a great experience. The app, however is a bit limited for my taste, despite being my preferred platform for learning. First, I would really like to be able to search for friends and follow them. Second, I feel like removing/resetting courses should also be possible. Third, not all items are shown in the app's store. Currently I need to start up a laptop to fully utilize Duo Lingo, even though the learning experience is more polished in the app.

App works well and lots of options. One new feature that is more annoying is the breaking of previously completed skills at a rate that at my current learning goal results in only 1 new lesson every 2 days. While I appreciate this to ensure retention it seems this should either take into account lesson goals per day, be optional or like lesson goals have a control for decay rate. This app would be rated higher by me but this feature greatly diminishes my learning potential based on my time.

A great way to learn and practice languages. Some things needed: 1. Some better explanations on grammar rules, especially ones in the learning language but not present in the native language (e.g. formal). 2. It would be nice to change the colour slightly on the entry box depending on whether the learning or native language is required. So many times I enter the wrong language. 3. Where's Tagalog? It seems there are Filipinos wherever I travel and there over 100M native speakers.

This app has a great selection of languages, however, the recordings for the languages are extremely robotic. Korean sounds like a Korean Microsoft Sam. Other apps like Lingodeer hire natives to record sentences and it sounds much better. Also, the learning tips are only for the desktop version which SUCKS. This is an APP. Duolingo NEEDS to put the learning tips on the app. Otherwise you will make mistakes and not even know why you were wrong. Decent app, needs a lot of work.

Great language app, especially for free. My only complaint is the notion of "health bars" which is antithetical to the learning experience. If you're too afraid of getting something wrong, you may stop trying; especially when it forces you to stop after you run out of health.

I've used this app for over a year and a half. The recent update has changed several things I'm unhappy about, and I'm about ready to delete it. Many people are visual learners. Why take this away when going back to prior lessons to get a refresher on words? Also, the lack of help is awful in the app. No explanations, just hints on how languages work. I also tried Duolingo Plus and it's not worth the money. The new hearts addition is basically negative reinforcement. I no longer like this app.

Ads are suppose to keep it free. Now it's heart related. Use a heart to learn a section. Mess up too often and you cannot learn anymore (and it is still ad supported). However, if you pay for premium you can have unlimited hearts. Took away Lingots of which I had 1300+. My kids use this in school for learning French, now they will not be able too. Losing hearts for making mistakes while learning defeats the purpose of this app. This update renders the app pointless.

You have to wait hours, reach few hours you get one more heart, which is one more answer you can get wrong. Makes me feel stupid, sucks my determination to get this learnt. Can't see why it's supposed to help. If it's just to make you pay, then i get that. Not sure though, maybe they will have hearts after you pay too.

Three or four verbs are introduced (sometimes without all the conjugates, which makes irregular verbs difficult), but the exercises will ask for dozens of verbs that weren't introduced. While it's a great app (and I use it enough to use the paid version), I still need a notebook to write down and learn verbs with all their conjugates, along with all the nuances of the language.

If the app keeps pestering me, eventually I'll give in and do a lesson or two. And that's the goal. To learn a language.

I found out in Norwegian that Unnskyld means Excuse, not Sorry. What if I put that instead? Do I lose my heart because your wrong and I'm right? And another thing, I don't want to buy your stuff.

Amazing. I love it! It's fun & I look forward to using the app daily. I'm a complete beginner and really feel like it has helped me read, write, and say words in Spanish little by little. I'm confident I can become fluent or get close to it if I keep at it. My boyfriend also has the app and enjoys it. He encouraged me to use it. He uses it to brush up on his Spanish so he can help me if I have questions. I like how you can add friends through the app and see how they are doing.

This app is really great! But I really would like if the time if the lives (in the premium version) will be shorten a bit because I'm always studying the course that I picked everyday when i have time. And it turns out that I really have many time to study the courses that I chose. It's okay though, since the practice also helps me get better. I really love this app since it makes my studying in languages is better that the other apps that I have tried.

Not a fan of the new update where if you mess up and lose all your hearts you have to pay gems to replenish them. With the current system it doesn't allow you to keep messing up until you get it right which is a problem for those just starting out or like to beat thing into their head through repetition. They also removed the generalized tests. That is unless you want to go to the pro version but that costs money and the app stresses the free aspect of it.

Ok, especially for free. Has a lot of improvement opportunities. Layout doesn't encourage one to find the lesson before the exercises. Right answers can be marked wrong. Some exercises get you spending more time finding *the* official answer than performing a translation. There's a lack of feedback as to why you got something wrong & why the official answer is correct. Very American rather than English. Plus you're competing in the league against folk who do unreal numbers of exercises each day.

Duolingo is ok for learning Spanish, though mainland Spanish as an option would be preferable to only Latin American Spanish. Scoring is frustrating, often not registering complete lessons or earning 73 XP (points) but the app only registering 45. Making daily goals more difficult, often having to complete additional lessons to meet the goal. The new stories are fun, but again often do not allow the final continue to be clicked, so doesn't register. Don't appreciate wasting time!

Definitely a great learning tool and it plays like a game so it taps into the reward centers of the brain and keeps you coming back. The lessons could stand to explain certain things a little better though. Like each lesson should have a little intro that lays out what will be covered.

The only thing good about this app is it's free. But you can buy ad free, but don't waste your money or time. Levels and hearts are good for nothing. If don't use duo's translation they punish you, a good Translator could do as well.

There are just enough game-like features to motivate extra study. For example, errors cost ❤️; I love that you can earn extra ❤️s by practicing. Awards for "streaks," consistency, etc. Ads appear regularly in the free version, between lessons, clearly identified. Watching video ads is optional, and earns gems you can spend in the game.

Been using this for Chinese. It's essentially a flashcard system. You are given example sentences, then the idea is overtime you get more intuitively intune to how simple-intermediate sentances are constructed in that target language. The fact it is free is awesome. I feel like you can definitely get at least a good foundation. BUT. Don't just use Duolingo. You should use this in addition to a book, or other apps for example. You should also expose yourself to more audio.

Mostly positive but the points system needs work. Essentially if you want to use the app as intended then you find yourself at a disadvantage compared to people who just spam the same lesson (stories) for points to win first on the leaderboards. Not that it matters, but for me it took the joy out of the competition aspect which is a big driver for me to use the app more. This could easily be fixed by either only rewarding new lessons or rewarding each lesson once per week.

I just cancelled my Plus subscription because they have made too many changes in favor of gamification over education, and Duolingo is simply no longer effective for me. The latest update that dramatically reduced the number of lessons in each skill was the last straw. It used to be that there were about 25 lessons to get from level 4 to 5, now there's only 20 altogether from level 1 to 5! I need more repetition than I'm getting now, there just aren't enough lessons for me to actually learn a skill before I've already maxed it out.

It makes sense when you are trying to test out of a level to have limited mistakes, but not when I'm trying to learn. Also, when I ran out of lives, it cost 350 to refill. When I lost one, I thought if I bought more, it would add 5 more to the 4 I still had. But it only refilled the hearts, up to 5 max I guess. So it cost 350 for 5 hearts or 350 for 1 heart. What gives??

This app is by far one of the best things I've ever downloaded. Not only has Duo convinced me to stop wasting time watching brain-dead YouTube videos, I can now actually speak in a different language! Also the whole Stories feature is great as it gives a fairly good simulation of how conversations are held, which in turn is vital for becoming proficient in a language.

Good app, would like if the courses introduced more important words first like the verbs "have" or "do" or "go" instead of one's for "eat".

Good app, would like if the courses introduced more important words first like the verbs "have" or "do" or "go" instead of one's for "eat". Would have also loved if there was an English to Icelandic as that's one I'm passionate about and as there are already things like old Irish and Gaelic I thought it might be there too. Leagues are also too much and has more often than not put me off using the app.

I also appreciate that you can slow the speaking down so you can better hear and understand the pronunciations. My only complaint is that I missed a good bit of time while moving and really wanted to start over from scratch and couldn't find a way to do so. The user should have more control over whether they want to do any lesson over from the beginning.

I like Duolingo, but the leaderboards should be optional. Once we've reached a certain league we should keep the badge. Then not have to keep our place because it puts unnecessary stress on people who want to chill out- after having to stay in the leaderboards consistently. Please also not overload the lessons with so many new words, it puts me off learning more because there's too much to take in at once.

Works great and is pretty easy. I can read/understand a bit better but doesn't help much for actual conversation/speaking. My biggest complaint is that it doesn't have Bulgarian! Please add it already! It's close to Russian but not close enough (I used Russian and have now stopped). Over 15 million people worldwide speak Bulgarian (and people in Macedonia basically speak Bulgarian too). Please add properly asap and I can bump rating up to five stars; I only got this app for Bulgarian.

I am finding the app easy to navigate. If you're not a paid subscriber there is a free practice option that gives you extra time to really learn what you have done during a lesson, when you run out of hearts. It is great so far! I am learning and pretty quickly it seems. I love this app so far!

I'm enjoying the way the app presents mixed elements of the language - both listening and vocabulary can be trained a little with this. The progression system gives it a dynamic that makes it hard to completely drop it. My main two issues with Duolingo are the following: It does not teach you grammar or the USE of the vocab you learn properly, if at all. The included text lessons are rudimentary. Also, there is no way to repeat lessons, which is unnacceptable if you wish to revise the material.

The desktop version currently costs no lingots to test out, and there are no video ads. If you are in bed you can tell it you can't listen or speak now and audio questions will be suspended for an hour. Once you hit checkpoint one you can read stories. In the German course they are cute and humorous. The whole learning experience is great!

Native English Speaker in the US. I've been using Duolingo for years! After I took German in high school, I wanted to continue learning. The most recent update added "Stories" & that has been the best thing it's ever had. This let's you read, & hear, a realistic conversation between people. The words can then be tapped to review what they mean, & you learn a lot through the context! I've been very pleased with it as a basic learning course, but be sure to use external material to learn!

Excellent app, been using on and off to improve language skills I let fall to the wayside after school. I have noticed one or two errors here and there but overall I find duolingo very accurate and it's a really excellent tool to brush up on a language or to start learning a new one.

I've only been using Duolingo for a few days but I enjoy every second. It can be quite repetitive but I'm sure that's why it's effective. The way the exercises vary in format help with true comprehension. So far I love it! Will probably pay for the plus version without adds.

It was easily 5 stars until today. For those serious about learning a language, it's a great tool to keep you engaged daily. So why the poor review? As you complete lessons and practice them, you get crowns. These take a lot of effort and time to acquire. However, with an update to the language today, several of these crowns got wiped out back to zero. Weeks of work, gone. It's a recurring problem with users losing progress, it's very decentivizing. Really dumb from Duolingo and I don't get it.

Gets worse To start with this app is great, it makes sense and teaches you the basics well, then it ramps up the learning rate to an insane degree. The first few lessons teach you about 6 words at a time, in the later lessons they expect you to learn a lot more than that so nothing cements itself in your head. For example the body parts lesson expected me to learn about 20 body parts aswell as various new adjectives in one lesson. My advice is use it sparingly and try to find a better app.

My experience with this app was good then took an abrupt turn. Through unfortunate events, I had my subscription cancelled and now it costs me $2 dollars more to resubscribe. All of this occurred within less than two weeks. On a limited budget, that means a lot. Thinking about trying other apps.

A great starting learning tool if you lack the proper time or schedule to take classes.

A great starting learning tool if you lack the proper time or schedule to take classes. The reason I don't give it 5 stars is because grammar rules aren't explained; you just learn how to say things in other languages. In the Scottish Gaelic, for example, the lenition rules aren't explained properly. So new learners with scratch their heads in confusion as to why "boy" is spelled as "balach" but in other phrases and exercises as "bhallaic". This may also apply to languages with declensions.

It could do with an explanation feature but that's not why I've scored it so low. It's the content that lets this app down. The pronunciation is sometimes so bad even my husband can't get it! Correct answers can lose you a heart. You can use the flag feature to point out mistakes but it changes nothing. Disappointing.

Completely stuck on multiple Hindi courses. There are stages in the lessons which have a 'match the letter to the sound' portion and tū and jhū sounds each do not allow me to match them with the provided symbols. So far my only option has been to spend gems to take the test to skip the lesson but if those sounds come up during the lesson then I've wasted gems and cannot continue. The app has been mostly helpful but its frustrating to be stuck with nothing to do on it.

This app is good but falls short in one aspect it will sometimes allow bad spellings of words when it may be one letter off but other times it will fail you for the same misspelling regardless of level. They also hit you with phrases out of the blue where they have not even covered that phrase or even those words so you are forced to spend more time checking the translation then actually learning anything. Immersion is better than showing translation.

Duolingo is a very good program, friendly to use, especially for free. I love that it crowd-sources to improve the sentences and answers, and I relish the opportunity to contribute to this community. However, I do find it a bit distressing that when I get my language trees all polished, I get knocked back almost to zero, with alarming frequency. It has really hampered my ability to cover new material and enhance my learning, esp. in languages where I have extensive outside experience.

This app has been great at motivating me to learn a new language as well as refresh me on languages I've learned a little. I'm also learning new ways to say things in languages I was already familiar with. For beginners I strongly recommend that you click the lightbulb before starting a lesson test. The lightbulb takes you to a page that explains the lesson. Most seem to miss that aspect of Duolingo and get upset when they are immediately asked about words and phrases they don't know.

Great application, lot of languages to learn / practise. A few translation fails but this is clearly not the reason i removed a star. The main culprit of the app : it lacks of courses to explain things (except for French). Haven't tried the paid version though. Nonetheless great job from the devs !

I've been hooked on this for a few days now. I've lived in China for a few years, minored in Japanese in college, and had a couple of awesome Russian roommates. This app is great for touching up on languages I haven't spoken in a while and has been teaching me Russian at a surprising pace (Cyrillic is no joke). Sometimes I put in an answer that should be accepted but it's not for some reason; that happens once in ~150 questions or so. Not a big deal. Oh, and it's 100% free

I do 3 apps every day just to keep the sequence. Today duolingo infotmed me I had lost my 346 day streak but I could pay to get in back. Other apps still continuous. AQuick appraisal later and I am ditching this. Doing Spanish and I can't tell if the content writer is a native speaker of Spanish or English if either even. There is no theory just random words and phrases thrown out repeatedly so there is no indication of how verbs are derived, nouns you just end in o or a! Bye.

Solid Start in Duolingo. Started with Spanish, to which I did have some previous experience learning. Though it never really took back then. It seems to be taking now. Not sure yet if that's because of the previous base and the ten thousandth time is the charm for me, or if these short, repetitive, simple lessons really help build an understanding. I'm willing to give Duolingo the credit! Overall it's still a more fun method of learning than Spanish 1 in school or random learn Spanish CD's.

App is fully free, there are ads to support the app, but it's not intrusive or anything. The app is also good and very well done. The only "bad point" is the lack of explanation, so I would say that if you are really planning to learn, it's a side tool :)

I've been working on Hindi for 50 days. Since the beginning, I've been facing the problem of trying to tap pairs together. The last pair through process of elimination should always go together. However, every time I tap the pair to move on, it lights up red and I am unable to move forward from it. I would usually use the gems to skip the lesson whenever I had that problem. Now, I can't do that because the app won't let me do it to ones that I've already completed (to restore). Please fix this.

I can't get through a single set of questions as the "what is this sound" questions don't play a sound unless I leave the app open for about 20 mins, THEN my phone will surprise me with some Mandarin, I wish these problems would have occurred before I payed for the "pro" and wasted my money.

I've a fair bit of language learning experience, and Duolingo is very good indeed. Firstly, it's not just French/German/Spanish/Italian courses - many mire languages, some quite obscure. I've always laughed at courses with almost-nonsensical sentences (eg, "The blue mouse is in the tram"), but such tests make you think about *every* word, and not just guess by context. I do some every day, and am nearly 8 months in the Hungarian course, and I'm loving it. Thanks, Duolingo Owl, you're the best.

It's great for a free app and tries really hard to keep you motivated. But the errors, the lack of some vital information while learning and the pure translation-focus of the app takes away from the learning experience in my opinion. For context, I was learning German through English.

It's easy, well rounded, and it WORKS. they have some great options of languages to learn, but also hoping they continue to add as I want to learn Bulgarian.

I've never been a fan of such apps, as I find they don't really help me, however I thought I'd give it a go to kill time when on public transport. 2 minutes into my first lesson and there is already a bug, because of which my answer is incorrect. It's in the section where you have this little turtle button, to listen to the sentence in slo-mo. The bigger button says an incomplete sentence. The last word is missing, hence my wrong answer. I had to tap the turtle to hear the full sentence.

Duolingo is a terrible experience. The lessons are too repetitive, which makes progress excruciatingly slow. If you want to move on to new lessons, you have to pass a test. The thing is, the test will have questions with words and phrases that have not yet been covered. So even with doing all the lessons multiple times, passing the test is fairly difficult. On top of that, the app will nonstop send you notifications and emails. I love the idea of free learning, but the app is seriously flawed.

Now, since the update around 2 months ago, I'm sad to say that although at its core Duolingo is a brilliant tool to teach the structure of your desired language in theory, it spends to little time drilling these into you before rushing you onto the next subject matter by over halving the number of lessons. This has resulted in very very little retention long term. I'm gutted.

If I'm on the last question of 15 & get it wrong so loose a life & if I can't buy another life i loose the whole session. It's very demoralising & frankly makes me want to give up.

Pretty good for practicing a language you've already had a bit of experience in, but I don't think it's the best for learning languages that don't use standard letters found in English, French, etc., like Japanese or Korean. It simply doesn't go into enough details about the basics and just shoves it in your face, making new learners become discouraged from being overwhelmed. I suggest having some other beginner-friendly apps before trying to learn one of those languages on here.

I'm one of the fortune to have the lingots option for the AB testing, so I've been able to make quite good progress, however my partner has the hearts and hates it, and I can see why, as he barely gets practice due to this dumb hearts option. If someone is brand new to a language it is ridiculous to limit them to five mistakes. 5 mistakes per day, and if you lose them all in the first lesson you can't even maintain a streak. Very discouraging.

This app is actually very good to improve your language skills, but there are so many inappropriate ads, even though there written "this ad helps keep us education free". I think that's no makes sense. Please, don't show inappropriate ads anymore.

Not usable long term. They created a dumbf*ck feature that mass decays the hard earned progress points you benchmarked (esp without any means to immediately mass restore/prove/bump non-regression) Just for what seemingly feels like trying for a tacky cheap, lowlife sake of wanting to compel more app screen time usage. Boring app that lags and relegates to non use, sitting there making half of its ex-inspired monolingual American users feel again sociolinguistically apathetic, unaccomplished.

Difficult app to use as it has a complicated reward system. You have to earn hearts and crowns before you can move on to a higher level and you have to repeat the same lessons over and over again if you don't have enough. Or buy the Plus course.

From what I've used so far its excellent, repetitive so that you can memorize the words well. It takes time to learn and remember the language so I've learnt that you need to be patient with the app as you won't learn it in 2 weeks but it could be months the more you use it.

It's pretty good, though they need to put more effort into the usability. For example, the font is too small and there's no way to adjust it. Also, they should provide a way to bookmark progress so you don't need to scroll scroll scroll scroll to get back to where you were in the lessons.

Learning Arabic, German and French on duo is fun. There may be a few little flukes, but these can be discussed in the forum. For becoming a fluent speaker, you should immerse yourself in a language in different ways though. I hope duo further develops 'stories' to help with immersion.

I really love this app. My only problem is that I don't have the option to switch from using the word bank to typing out my answer. I'm sure word banks are useful for a lot of people, but writing really helps my retention. I don't want to get rid of the word bank, I'd just like the option!

It's a really good app but if you get something wrong, then you lose a heart. And sometimes when I'm doing a speaking exercise, the microphone turns off. I don't know why but it's extremely annoying. Also if there was more languages available to learn, then this would be a great app.

More costumes and power-ups would be nice, such as costumes for individual languages, like a matador for the Spanish class or a ninja for Japanese. Learning with this app is easy, and the difficulty changes to match your progress. My only major complaint is the lack of extra content like costumes or powerups for more motivation.

For example with Spanish, it goes straight to teaching you Spanish words and phrases.

Just in the first phase, I've probably only learned about 20-30 words compared to the first phase of the Spanish course.

I recently started to study Hindi on duolingo. I liked my experience so far. But there are problems in some of the questions. For instance in letters 3 in some of the pairings, two of them doesn't match. Although they are the correct ones, and you leave it as the last paie, they don t match and you can't move past that. I tried to use lingots to skip the level, but thexproblem repeated several times in different lesson and my lingots finished because of that! Please correct the problem. Thank yo

I've only been using the app for a week or so, but so far it's been a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I haven't seen any bugs. I still don't know whether it will work for me in the long run, in terms of learning languages completely, but it has done far more in the way of motivating me to learn at least something new everyday, and that's more than I can ask for from a free app. Overall it's been a perfect experience: 5/5 stars.

Good App but it also incorporates a score Board which makes you forget about why you went on in the first place. And that is to learn. I nearly got sucked into it by being top of the leader board but then slowed down to a pace that was better for a good learning experience.

Ironically, the ads read "this ad helps us keep education free" but you have to pay for plus to get infinite lives.

As expected, Duolingo isn't the best when it comes to actual learning, especially concerning grammar. It also doesn't help that in many exercises, it will say you made a mistake even though you used the exactly right sentence.

This new "hearts" idea is stupid and limiting. It restricts how much learning you can do at once and punishes mistakes, which is an essential part of the learning process. And Duolingo knows it since their loading screen tips say so. If the hearts plan goes through, this app will be effectively a paid subscription because being punished so harshly for making mistakes will prompt us to just look up the answers which will destroy the learning process.

Very straight forward and easy to use. The whole theme is a bit childish, seems to be aimed at pre teens or something. But the content itself and repetitions help to memorize the lessons easier. most of the app is free and adds are reasonable, not too invasive or constant. The whole ingot system is a bit useless but i guess the aim is education and not in app rewards. The academic side is very good, the way lessons are presented make their content understandable, a generaly good app!

Very good suitable for all levels and very smart in offering additional assistance in areas you need weather it be grammar or vocabulary. Could not recommend enough. A family plan would be great though. It would cost over €50 per month for my whole family which is prohibitive.

Duolingo is very good at solidifying knowledge. It should pay attention to spelling and punctuation as in certain languages those are essential to convey the correct meaning. It is also motivating to receive awards like points and leagues for consisted practice. However, sometimes there is too much pressure to stay on top. Like the notification when someone took my place in the league or having badges for spending points on not required items.

Love this app, but there is a tiny bug.. I came first in one of the leagues, but the reward gems never actually got added. Also if I watch an add to "double the reward" it never adds any extra. Not a big thing, but it is a glitch. Thanks anyway for a great app.

5 stars so far, it's really helpful. Although it gets tiring tryna learn things and it just repeats, but I have a bad memory so it's really good for me. Different people have different ways of learning, but Duolingo takes it slow and easy for easy learning. Thank you to the creators, you did good.

I find the app incredibly useful for learning the basics of a language, although I wish they has a page or maybe a lesson where you could easily see different variations of pronouns, possessive pronouns etc., but that's probably just because I'm a bit old-school when learning languages.
Adam Grimshaw
December 22, 2019
Good way to learn the basics. It can even listen and rate your pronounciation. That part doesn't work so well in noisy environments like commuter trains. One knock on is that one of the focus areas is on animals rather than grocery shopping vocabulary or something more useful.

This app is honestly so amazing. So many languages to choose from and the best part, you get to learn on YOUR time. The lessons aren't hours long which makes it so much easier to learn and practice. I would recommend taking notes with each lesson so you can refer to them whenever you need them.

Great app! I've been learning Chinese and it's going well, I wouldn't have the opportunity to learn the language so easily without Duolingo. The ads and notifications are also kept to a minimum. The only thing is that audio sometimes doesn't work or isn't available, which can be quite annoying.

Updating my already 5 star review. Yes free users have a heart system. I personally find the failure, rinse and repeat method actually helps me learn better. Any negative review about it makes little sense. You can take tests to regain hearts. If you get something wrong additional learning only makes sense. The only "shady" practice is when free users get ads, the ignore button randomly is at the bottom or the top left of the screen. Which only switches location every 24 hours.

I've used it on my daily commute for a week now, and not only does the time fly, feeling I get to where I'm going faster, but the learning is actually.. Fun? I find myself going "I can squeeze in one more lesson" all the time. It's great.

I finished Spanish and am currently doing French on Duolingo and the results have been great! I really reccomend this app if you want to improve your language skills. When you first open the app, it asks if you are a beginner or already know some of it. If you are just starting, you start from scratch. If you are a little more on the intermediate side, you take a placement test to see where you are, and you can get a headstart and you can go from there.

I was seeing how Russian was on the app to see if it was worth it for my husband to use it, and it's very simple and not helpful at all in everyday life. We will try to learn French for the next month or two so that we aren't completely lost in Montreal 😂

Best free App for learning German, lots of content and the forum help is superb. One request would be to show the gender of nouns when clicking word hint. Also worth mentioning is that Duo offers many free stories with comprehension testing. All the stories I have read so far have been enjoyable. They are a great way to consolidate learning. My thanks to the Duo team. Have an extra sixth star Duo, for the fun stories.

I have really enjoyed learning german. Its a lot of fun! But i dont really understand how the program works ie: i was trying to find a section which outlines how you progress through each level and what all the awards/symbols mean. So i just muck my way through it really.

#Now not working at all# Progressive, entertaining. Seems effective. Helped get over initial hurdles in learning Arabic.... BUT.. The app is really glitchy. Says its Offline even when I'm online. Consequently spend as much time trying to catch the wretched app in the brief windows it's actually online as using it. Now does no more than one lesson before reverting to offline. Utterly infuriating; totally negates it's effectiveness. Fix it and I'll buy premium. No explanation of grammar.

The app itself is amazing. I downloaded it to learn Finnish, but I couldn't find it, that's why I'm a bit disappointed. If you are looking to learn other languages then Finnish, then I'd recommend this app to you, so far I had no problems what so ever. Please add Finnish though. Thank you! (◍•ᴗ•◍)

I've been a loyal user for about 5 years now and had no complaints until very recently. Duo has a new feature that exists solely to frustrate and dishearten learners. After devoting a lot of time and energy into completing a lesson, Duo will now arbitrarily pick completed lessons to rob users of and then demand that the they redo what they've already done in order to "restore" the accomplishment that Duo has arbitrarily stolen. It's infuriating.

I have learned a lot of german, spanish and even a bit of russian the last 6 months just by doing Duolingo on my 15 min commute on the bus each morning. It is fun, not too easy and not too hard. Just last week, a man on tv started speaking german and although he spoke too fast for me to fully understand i was able to identify a few words and the general meaning of what he said. Super exciting!!

I like how this app gives you new vocabulary to learn daily, but you can't really communicate with others, which is a key to learning a language. I think a cool feature on the app (that should be free) is connecting users learning a language to users who already know a language. This could be a voluntary process where when people sign up for the app, they are asked which languages they are fluent in, then connect them with someone who is learning that language.

Has helped me for sure, but small criticism would be that it is overly repetitive. Repetition breads familiarity, but I feel it can be too repeititve. Perhaps an algorithm to measure how many times you got something right or wrong could be used to progress quick learners more quickly?

I have tried other language programs and for me, Duolingo is a cut above the others. Duolingo teaches the flow of the language instead of phrases to memorize, and piece the language together for yourself. They provide a comment and question section where questions you have are answered by knowledgeable and sometimes native language speakers. I strongly encourage those seeking to learn new languages to try Duolingo. Free or paid, it is well worth the time.

This a really fun app. It is not a game app. It is where you get to learn different languages. When you get the app you have to make yourself an account. Then you can pick any language you want to learn. You can learn more than one language. Last step before you can start learning the new language is you have to say if you are a beginner or advance for the language that you pick. It is good for people that normally speak a diffrent language and they want to learn English. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I have learned so much in such a short time! Great app! Duo provides the ability to learn in many ways.. By hearing in the target language and translating to native language, by reading it in native language and translating into written form of the target language, by testing your hearing of the target language and having you write or speak what you heard in that language... Plus the forums are spectacular and have helped me to the moon and back when certain structures of French have puzzled me.

Makes learning another language fun. I wish it would explain more. There are several ways to say hello, goodbye, the, etc in most languages and it doesn't explain when each version of the word is appropriate. I've gotten a lot wrong because of that and had to end my lesson.

This is a wonderful app to learn secondary languages. It's interface makes it so easy, smooth and the concept of streaks makes you want to open the app everyday and learn for at least 5 minutes. It's very useful and if you're looking to learn languages, this is the app to download.

I find the Lingots difficult to understand... Can one opt out of the competitive side with others & just compete with oneself? It is demoralizing to keep going to zero points & then having to beat others. It is not cooperative. Otherwise I find it an excellent app.

I appreciate the ability to fully educate myself for free. Sitting through the ads is actually worth what I'm getting. Also the sentences seem weird and random but they actually help you to pick up more words at one time and learn to construct sentences properly.

Quite well structured, but you need to know the basic before you start. The app does not in itself teach you, it just provides a platform for you to teach yourself. Some mistakes in the Greek module and it is not always consistent in the exact response it expects.

This is one of the best free apps. For someone who has learned languages before, this app is great for me. I am using it to clean up my Spanish and learn French. It will help you learn all of the grammar that you need to move into advanced. However, you have to take it upon your self to broaden your vocabulary. Languages have too many words to just relay on one program for vocabulary.

Duolingo is a great app to start learning languages. It is continuously being improved and updated. When you complete a course "tree" your reward is a golden owl for your achievement. The only negative is as a result of updates to the tree they keep taking away your owl which can take months to earn back after completing the new material. It's all worth it in the end thougg as it means you learn more.

I love this app but this app is not made for all people. Lacks dyslexic support. Spelling causes issues cause more missed questions than anything else. I suggest open dyslexic font paired with a spell check or the implementation of far more variation in correct answers that are miss spelled. --- in response to a spell check giving away answers. Anyone who has taken a test b4 will find that this app gives away awnser. That sat prep class still paying off. 1/5 spelling ruins this app for me.

Currently I am learning Esperanto and improving my Germany and Korean that I used to learn kinda a long time ago.

It's really nice that I can learn multiple languages with only one account on one app. Also the style is cute and positive. Really awesome 💚

So far so good. I've done 2 lessons (intro and phrases), and so far no kinks. Very easy activities that change as you progress. Very manageable, time-wise, because the span of the daily lessons depends on the user. I stand so far.

A really great app to help learn a language or two. The repetition on phrases in exercises is really helpful to retain the information, rather than just learning a new word or phrase and moving on. The XP and leaderboard makes the challenge more fun as well.

The only issue with this program (And it's free so you really shouldn't), is that I wish they would expand the verbs. They've gotten better from when it first came out so that is good. Love to practice. It's been over 30 years when I learned the language as an exchange student.

I've been using this app for a while now, and I wanted to finally deliver my review to potentially help out someone who may be interested in downloading this app. I like the short stories in the book. I feel like it helps you to become more fluent by learning via conversation compared to only learning a few phrases at a time. I enjoy the challenges and lessons you learn while studying. It would be nice if the app had the ability to connect those who speak the language to learn more directly.

I lately have gotten too much homework to complete in one night. So I set Duolingo aside... and didn't have enough gems to buy streak freezers for 4 days.

I dont like how it was changed to the 3 hearts and blue gems. It penalizes you for getting stuff wrong which makes learning a new language even more frustrating, and if you get three things wrong, it stops the lesson for you. How are you supposed to learn if you aren't allowed to make mistakes?

Listening to rapid speech and working with native speakers, especially with Danish, is a plus. Russian text without accent marks but with native speakers reading is another. A negative is the choice of vocabulary: turtles & elephants, really! 54 years ago, learning French in Paris, I started with prepositions and pointing words, then introductions, greetings & 'help'! The English is intolerant: Canadians do not say 'check' but 'bill' is wrong! Good idea - imperfect result!

The heart feature is unnecessary. If you start learning a new language of course you're gonna make mistakes. Like how tf can I remember hiraganas in the second day. It's only possible to learn something if you already know something from the language. And that my friends is actually retarded.

Good language learning app. There are occasional bugs, and you need somewhat good network connection. You can only make 5 mistakes unless you pay real money; this move is a capitalistic garbage. This is especially bad since the leaderboard (aka leagues) was introduced giving unfairness among users.

Sarah Parker

Really good free app, very repetitive which is good for the brain. The check points are way harder than the practice material, so I feel like the practice material maybe needs to be a little harder or check point a little easier. But that's my one bug. Otherwise it is awesome. I'm using it very day!

I recommend picking up some formal materials to solidify the "why" of certain things i.e. "Hon har på sig en sko" vs "Hon har en sko på sig" or min/mitt/mina. However, the app does present these items in a manner where you learn them intuitively -- you just might need another source to understand academically why and what is going on grammatically.

The app suffers from over use of American English. On the French course many French words are shared in English, but the app does not recognise this and forces American English. For example 'cinema' is valid in both French and English, but to progress requires the use of an Americanism 'Movie Theatre'. Another example is 'biscuit', where the app requires 'cookie'. In English a cookie is a different form of confectionary from biscuit, and where confused can lead to real difficulties.

I like Duo, but their app for Android and their website leave quite a bit to be desired when it comes down to the speaking portions of the lessons; can't usually make heads or tails from what you hear them saying because it sounds like they recorded their speakers speaking under an underpass during rush hour and then applied an echo effect to that.

Duolingo hits auditory, kinetic, and visual learning styles. Competitive aspects within the community of learners keep you motivated to continue. The only aspect I don't love is the hearts. If you make mistakes you lose hearts, this limiting your mistakes to 5 per day. Getting something wrong is a great way to learn what is correct, so I think there so limits the fail forward aspect of education. Other than that, I have been very happy with the learning experience on Duolingo.

Great app. Would reccommend. One slight issue that I would like assisstance with nore than anything. So basically, I started a language course that I no longer wish to do and the "Learning language" option/area cannot be found. What do I do? I use an android phone if that helps.

Really good app. Chosen language (Scottish Gaelic) is broken down into smaller topics. Learning by repetition, verbal and written. The app is good is encouraging you along, even when you make mistakes.

It's pretty awesome to be able to learn a new language at your own pace. My only complaint is about the leaderboard and how people use their native language to boost to the top. Unsportsmanlike. But what I would like to happen and what actually happens are two different things.

Great learning app, but I hate that you lose an entire lesson when you're heart health runs out because of mistakes. It makes any lesson you get wrong even longer because you have to repeat it and it hurts you from getting points to be in the leader board. I think it's rude.

Good app for absolute beginners, but as I ve taken already some Spanish lessons, the content is dull for me. Just repeating and no progress in learning. Btw, I m just using the free app. Maybe there is a feature which aims at progressing quicker... but to date I m not interessted to pay for it..

I my opinion the free version is better than the paid one. When you run out of lives - meaning you did mistakes, because you don't remember the words correctly - the app makes you rehash what you learnt in past lessons in order to gain a life to continue with your further progress.

I'd like to see an update where the lessons notes are opened when you very first start a section (as I often forget them), also please have translations/pronunciations of words when referring to them in the notes in their native language. 2.)I'd like to see some culture thrown in to learn about. 3.)Additional materials like literature or videos, that will be optional.

It's alright but it fails to properly instruct on how to learn any of the material and relies on very vague dictionary hints that are helpful for some lessons but misleading and worse than useless for others. The answers I have are more literally correct to the translation of the language but still counted as wrong and this happens very often. The owl mascot is annoying when you do well because it's interrupting when I just want to finish the lesson, but also condensending when getting it wrong

My new favorite app. Whether you're truly serious about learning a new language or want to just learn enough to vocalize your self in a country of foreign language for travel I recommend this app. The game aspect to it all makes you want to succeed even more. 5 stars, I never rate 5 out of 5

As I said, I'm dumbfounded at how quick I'm getting it. Five days and I've learned more than 18 months working on a project there. Absolutely crazy good program.

Dropping a star, because the audio frequently stops working in the listening lessons. Dark Mode, please! The light... it burns us! The text needs to be larger so the kanji are easier to see. Being able to clearly see new kanji and work on memorizing them is important.

i got error message every time i finish a lesson. very frustrating. Oh and 1 more thing, about the league race. I find it strange because 1 person can in 1 hour or less accumulate more than 1000 xp points, which in my estimation & experience is rather impossible to do. I have tried so many times and even with the free 30 minutes xp boost, one can only accumulate about 300 xp points max. I don't know what it is but I sense something is not right. Will duolingo investigate or not?

Without an option to reset the level, there is no point of progressing and learning a language. This seems to be such basic feature in this modern era. Ironically, the app doesn't have it thereby making the learning process terribly outdated.

Little did I expect for Duolingo to far exceed what Rosetta Stone delivered in-terms of both enjoyment, and actual results in my target language (Hebrew). I'm extremely grateful 😇🙏🏻💝

I've been learning Russian (Русский), and the system they use for learning the Russian alphabet was painful for me. I had better results memorizing that using an image with phonyms related to the characters. Once I did that, the rest of the Russian course on duolingo is like any other course. Not too bad at all.

Fun, easy, challenging app that I find helpful as part of a range of activities I use to help with grammar and learning new vocabulary and just keeping my level of French good. I love it and the fact that there's always something new to do.

Duolingo has tricked me into paying again for the subscription by saying I lost my 397 day streak when I didn't as I had streak freeze bought. It has something to do with checking the app right after midnight. Now I payed 10$ for the subscrition, had to cancel the reecuring payments, checked the app, got back my streak, but the monthly streak repair (the reason I bought the subscription) wasn't used up. Meaning duolingo lied to me into paying. This is the last time. I want my money back.

A nice little app. No complaints. Good repetition and pacing. The only thing i wish they would do is when you type a response in, it would display the proper accents after tapping CHECK. Thats really just nitpicking. Otherwise it's a very solid app.

Was looking for a good way to learn Scottish Gaelic, couldn't find it anywhere. I've used Duolingo in the past for other languages and it's been a good service, but the addition of Scottish Gaelic in duolingo's effective ways has really put the cherry on the cake for me. The hard work of everyone involved in this program and this course specifically has been of fantastic value to me.

This app used to be excellent but after the update to limited hearts you can lose all your hearts in 30 seconds if you make a couple mistakes and it takes hours to refill. I used to spend an hour or two on this app at a time and now I rarely open it. It's all pay to win now.

Also, I can't figure out how to change my password or username when they never gave me the option to create one in the beginning. The heart system is terrible because you advertise free learning but spam me with requests to buy Duo. plus every time I fail a lesson.

Holy moly even though I turned off email notifications I still get them it's so annoying. The leaderboards make me feel bad about learning because it turns it into a "who can get the most points" rather than learning something new. I wish they'd teach you the alphabet and grammar rather than just tossing you into learning words. Would be helpful to have more explanations as to why a sentence is structured a certain way rather than no explanation.

Nice concept but very buggy and zero customer support. The program for learning Italian is badly explained (idioms and unusual constructs thrown in without any prior or later explanation ) , very repetitive (same examples over and over and over again until your autocorrect already learns them), contains some weird and frankly disturbing sentences for practice ('when do they die?', 'I don't have the cow but i have the leather' Etc.).

It's fun and easy to use and my 9yo daughter is also finding it entertaining and hopefully getting some good grounding prior to doing it at secondary school. Updated to 5 stars after they fixed a bug with one of the listening exercises on Android. I also find it really valuable to be able to jump into the forum discussion on any of the questions.

Easy and enjoyable to use. Simple interface. If you're a beginner, it isn't intimidating in the least. If there's a language you're already familiar with but haven't perfected, Duolingo offers tests that allows you to skip courses.

You also lose your streak unless connected to the internet every day so I lost my nearly 300 day streak even though I studied offline every day! Finally single month sub cost should be closer to 6/12mon sub costs- like $8/month. It's not right to have to spend $13/mon for the same thing bc I'm too poor to pay $50 at once.

Rather then sending screenshots of my paid subscription every week, I cancelled. What a waste of time & money!

Some language courses are well made, but some are quite a disaster, russian-english, and English-russian, for example. I am russian and know English good enough to speak it fluently, but the evaluation test gave me only the basics, of BOTH of them, and words like 'seldom' in russian-english course are not used as much in life, as they are in the app, while words like 'rare' or 'rarely' are much, much more common. While courses like english-german are a cake walk with zero problems.

I have to close and re open app between levels or it crashes. Too many push notifications. No obvious way to contact customer service in free version. I reinstalled hoping to solve these problems but still lost all my gems.

I've really enjoyed this. Instead of wasting my time playing games I get a game type vibe while actually learning something. Only a couple weeks in but I really enjoy it and and learning.

An amazing app that makes learning a language fun and simple. Paying for the app does nothing to the actual lessons other than being able to do them offline, and ads are minimal. I highly recommend this to anyone struggling to learn a new language .

Used this for French. The male and the female pronounced words differently. Someone struggling with pronunciations will never get better if the app isn't consistent itself. I also felt like it didn't cover grammar at all.

Bite sized lessons and lots of repetition make learning painless. If you want an intense learning experience then this isn't for you, but if you pop on every day you'll definitely learn. Lots of leaderboard challenges and nudges.

It's generally very good, but the teacher's pronunciation can be improved. For instance, in Chinese, I wish they'd consistently follow the Beijing standard of pronunciation. Sometimes I seem to hear a southern Chinese dialect accent.

Small Points: the spoken pieces in French are still sometimes indistinct, and there is also the occasional spelling mistake in French. Of more concern is that you do not offer English(UK), but only the American version of the language. Why is that? You may well have a great many U.S.students, but equally, there must be a huge worldwide call for standard English. It is a significant failure to have the English language presented to your foreign language students by the American version alone.

The motivational messages are encouraging, and I like the sound effects of when something is correct. Some of the sentences don't make logical sense, but it's not that bad. It would be nice if they had more languages on there and didn't focus so much on Europe.

I was unfortunate enough to get a version of Duolingo that has an extremely scummy "hearts" system for lessons. It's your standard money-grubbing freemium move; "oh no, you made a mistake in that lesson and you're out of hearts. Would you like to wait four hours for another chance, or pay now to instantly refill it?" They have rolled this system out as a random test group; my close friends have a different economic system and can use the app whenever they want. And I can't. Weak.

Duolingo does a good job offering all sorts of diffrent problems to help you learn. It offers matching, listening, speaking, and written answers to help your learning. It would be better if it had Taiwanese though. Other than that it's a great app.

Inconsistant with what it deems a mistake, Ive had things 'wrong' because I left out a question mark when most of the time not putting a question mark is ok. It is in American English so have to get around mistakes such as writing toilet instead of restroom when for us its toilet. If I could add a screen shot I would show you guys a mistake which is litrally because I wrote ' l apres midi' instead of ' lapresmidi' they are both technically wrong but one was accepted over the other. Annoying.

App has lives, and an increasing timer on said lives. It is an effective learning platform, but it deffinitley isnt free if youre actually trying to learn. You lose lives for mistakes and you only get 5. Make 5 mistakes and youre stuck waiting. The first few lives replenish quick, while later on they start to make multiple hours, 3 or more. This wouldnt be an issue but it keeps you from doing lessons and if you run out of lives and are not willing to upgrade to pro you lose progress in lessons.

So many languages are made accessible through intuitive learning techniques. A language you have never remotely experienced becomes easily available and while still difficult far less intimidating to tackle. Great for anyone at virtually any language skill level as you can skip ahead and also can take it slow. There are so many lessons you can custonize your learning experience. I have been using the paid version which i feel improved my experience and was worth it after a year of unpaid use.

The best I've tried. If you aren't a casual learner, just go gold on all lessons before starting others, and do practice (“health healing”) often. Sometimes small typos get you a full error (can be annoying), but isn't a frequent issue.

I love that I can use my free time to learn a new language. However after the first couple of lessons, I'm having issues with the keyboard. Whenever it asks me to write in Russian, I cant change my keyboard to type the russian characters so of course I fail the course and cant progress further.

There have been so many changes and they are not all good. The reviews prove this. Are the developers even listening? Anywho, I have to take my tablet out of the keyboard case in order to type. The app will not work in landscape mode on a tablet. Can this be fixed? It works if I go online.

I chose to learn (more) Spanish. I know most of the basics but I noticed that they have a few words they mix up or don't have the correct translation for. Everytime I go to report/correct and/or leave a comment to correct these errors, there is of course an "error" and I cannot post. Then they have hearts (which are like lives in a game) and if you are incorrect you lose a heart. They only give you five and it takes five hours to get them back, though you can watch ads to get more.

While the amount of ads (most irrelevant) has increased, so has the content and eass of practice. Learning a language should be fun yet practical- so maybe looking for sentences that make more sense then "she boils chicken" could be part of the initial lessons to keep the users engaged.

I've always struggled with language learning but somehow Duolingo has figured out how to make it easy and fun. It feels more like a word puzzle game than anything else. And despite what the internet says he won't kill you for missing a day you just use up your streak freeze.

Horrible to learn kanji with because when you see the kanji you can click it but it doesn't show how to pronounce it only what it means in English therefore you can only associate the pictures with the general idea of it's meaning but you don't know how to say it

It has been very helpful in getting basic phrases down. It doesn't do much to explain some of the syntax and the voice speaks too quickly when you do some of the audio tests but for a free app this is very, very good.

It works and it's likeable! :) I was learning Spanish from scratch before Erasmus and it was really useful, now I do Italian, for a beginner it's perfect, about adverts they could appear in a language you study to make them part of the course not sth to close as quick as possible to go on ;)

Nowhere near as good as the Web browser version. Missing explanations given in browser, gets stuck on match the pair items that should match as the only final pair and yet can't progress from that, and uses the same audio files for similar sounds while testing you expecting you to know a difference that isn't present when using identical sound files.

Its seems like a good app to learn a language, unfortunately, it doesnt seem to incorporate simple reasoning for noun and verb applications. Part of learning a language is learning why/how nouns and verbs are applied when it comes to masculine and feminine and how to distinguish proper use.

Early days yet. I wasn't sure if it would work since it doesn't teach as much as keep quizzing you until you remember the answers. But I guess a little is seeping in so it must work. But the app is at least great, no problems at all.

I love using this app on my phone or the website on my computers. My only complaint is that sometimes the sound example is mumbled and impossible to determine but I just make sure to remember the correct pronunciation for that hiragana. My only complaint doesn't change my 5 star review.

Really good. Very interactive, one feels like one is making progress and surprisingly it seems to work! Love the competitive aspect: it forces one to just do one quick exercise to ensure that every day gets a tick. So easy to let things lapse without some form of motivation.

I searched Google for a Thai language learning app. I had seen the ads for Duolingo, so when it came up as the first result for "Thai language learning app Android" I expected it to have the Thai language. That is not the case. This app does not support languages that Google is advertising at supporting when searching. The result was a promoted ad for the search terms. This is largely due to the developers advertising parameters. For that reason, this app gets the lowest number of stars.

Free version is bordering on useable and that's pretty awesome. 5 Stars would only be if there was no "hearts" or even if there was 10-20 free hearts after a day as this feature limits you from making mistakes and the app even says mistakes help you to learn faster.

Once you get into the swing of things, it can be fun. Be nice if they maybe added alphabetical pronunciation and numbers to start. But well worth giving it a go. Plus i cant find the pay now Tab, if i wanted full version for a couple of months or year. Im currently trying spanish. 🙂

This app sucks here's why. This app gives you lives to start off with expecting you to know what to do and learn the language quickly, welp this ain't the case for everyone because some people are slow learner's and this app for slow learner's makes it difficult for them because if they run out of lives and if that person really wants to learn that language they won't be able to do that because they ran out of lives. Here's another reason why the app sucks, the comments are just trolls and jokes

I might leave Duo for a month or two, but I always come back because the app Duolingo offers the most comprehensive language learning in a single app. Most apps are too expansive and require separate downloads per language, but not Duolingo. Duolingo has all of its languages embedded into one app so you can easily emwitch between languages AND not lose your progress! Also, each language is fully developed and it represents a full world experience e.g. not all European languages.

It's an amazing fun way to learn a language. It's entertaining and you never get bored. The app introduces new words to you at the right time so it's easy to remember them. I started learning Spanish a few months ago and at this current day can say many sentences fluently!
Adam Felton
December 24, 2019
Great! The only suggestion would be to increase the frequency that you have to write the sentence in the language you're trying to learn, rather than translating to the language you already know. This would be super useful for training grammar.

The sample sentences are often quite entertaining. I like that only a single lesson counts now to maintain a multi day streak of continuous use. The Spanish language "story" lessons are great; I hope they will be available for Chinese soon.

Only one-two versions of English translation are considered the right answer. English translation is often a calca from Hebrew. The downstream lessons include few words from previous topics.

Its system of hearts discourages making mistakes when in reality everyone makes mistakes. It is a good incentive to learn but at the same time, you often run out of hearts and can't resume learning a language. If they just took out the hearts or gave us more every day, this app would have 5 stars.

Duolingo has been a great experience. It's engaging in many ways, providing clever incentive to motivate your language learning experience. From streaks to leaderboards and reminder messages, I know I never would have committed quite as diligently if not for this app. 10/10 would recommend.

It gives you the basic terms to make introductions etc but it is more memorization than learning. The downside is the constant barrage of email pressuring you to login. Thes cone no matter how long you use the ad or how many ads or videos you sit through.

Touching up on French I haven't looked at in years and it's been a great refresher so far. Really enjoy how it nails down the verbiage and the pace is nice. Be sure to read the lightbulb symbol before doing each skill, it helps explain the why/how of grammar etc.

Great for practice, stories are a lot of fun too! I'd still recommended lessons of some kind, as you can't always find a good explanation of why an answer is what it is. Nevertheless, I use this app every day now and it really helps.
Andrew Frame

A fun way to learn, however the app could use a glossary of words you've learned, as well as a proper pronunciation guide. I can copy the voice perfectly, yet the app still won't register that I've said it correctly.
Jason Young

While I love easy leveling up they need to add more lessons to level 3 and 4 on the topics. In the past there were 12 and 20 respectively, which I agree made it a bit boring but 4 is too little. Maybe 8 and 12 lessons?

Instead of having multiple choice, I think that users will be able to learn better if they had to type things out. For example, write the English translation of the given Korean sentence. If they get it wrong, then they are allowed to tap on the words to check the answer.

I'm trying to learn Hebrew and it jumps me right away to writing words, how am I supposed to know what those words mean if I'm a beginner? It would be great it if has the option to learn to talk or to chose what to learn from the language.

It's easy to learn but it takes forever to use. I just finished "basics 1" and that took months with learning everyday and I am not anywhere close to finishing it and you learn extremely slow and the questions are too easy and you learn nothing

An interesting way to learn a language. Mostly my experience learning Spanish has been positive. However, there are some frustrating things about this app. Verb conjugation isn't explained. They just throw conjugated verbs at you and expect you to pick up the patterns. The app adds confusion by teaching nuances like aca vs aqui (both mean here), which isn't necessary or efficient for someone who is just starting with the language. In general there are no explanations just repetition.

I helped me to pass DELF A2 for French language back in 2014(I didn't take any class) and now I am planning to appear on DELF B2 exam next year in march. It's design and the league based competition helps me to keep coming back daily. A warm thanks and regards to app and web developers of Duolingo. - BP Joshi

I have enjoyed it immensely. It is a lot of fun and I feel like I am learning a lot. The only critic is I wish it would show the pronunciation since sometimes the voice is muddled and hard to understand the necessary nuances.

It is really fun to learn, also so I recommend this to ANYONE who is trying to learn language. You can pick a sentance of your choice, you can write what you think/know what it the word/sentance means and you can also listen to the word sometimes. You will definitely learn the language when u have finished. You can also learn more than 1 language. I recommend this

This app is really great to practice language use. It makes it fun to learn new vocabulary and lessons. 4 stars because I feel like you have to have prior basic knowledge of the language you want to learn before getting this app.

I would give it 5 stars if max hearts were, say, 10 instead of 5. Having to go back and do 5 lessons of practice for every 5 mistakes stunts growth and makes learning new topics stressful and excessively time consuming. Everything else works great.

It makes learning into an addictive game, using competitive scoreboards and fun! I look forward to it every day ☺️. The only thing I would suggest is having vocab lists available on mobile, that'd be extremely helpful

I appreciate that the ads in the free version aren't intrusive. Duolingo is better suited for written comprehension-- it's best to practice a lot of speaking and listening through media and, if you can, native speakers.

This app helps tremendously with learning new languages. I think it helps to have had at least one in-person class on the language, because Duolingo doesnt go over grammar very much, but if you're very driven I'm sure you can learn exclusively with just this app!

It's a nice app but, having a certain amount of failures defeats the purpose of trying to learn. If they changed it to have a certain amount of failures for a certain topic and have it kick you out and have you restart the topic would be a better implementation.

I got this in preparation to visit my boyfriend's family in Italy in a few months, so I have yet to see how my learning holds up amongst native speakers, but so far so good! It basically feels like a game in that the notifications, streaks, points etc are motivating and satisfying, and the varied modes of learning (reading, writing, matching, speaking, visuals) from page to page totally keep me engaged.

Wonderful way to learn a new language or expand your knowledge base of a half-remembered language from school or childhood. Duolingo uses excellent teaching techniques to get you very familiar with vocabulary and phrases to start, leading to a more sophisticated usage as you go along.

It is a good app for learning new langues. Duolingo strarts you off with basic levels, there is different subjects. If you get like 5 wrong on a lesson and you don't have Duolingo plus well ,your heart will have no lives and you'll have to wait 4 hours and about 23 minutes.

Watching the ad for double lingots doesn't double the lingots as it says it does. I only get the single amount from the end of the lesson. I tried to submit this in a bug report through the app settings, but the captcha didn't work, so I was unable to submit anything.

Thanks to duolingo, I have been able to learn Spanish so much easier than those textbooks or mentors. I love the leader board and story system and the only thing I would do to improve would be to have a bigger range of outfits for the mascot to wear.

Definitely one of my favorite apps! It's pretty rare to find an enjoyable app that can replace the time-suckers (like f@cebook or 🍬 crush) that can take wasted time and use it to improve myself. This is one of those rare finds!

I'm using the app to increase my english vocabulary but it bothers me that it has excercises that make me translate from english to spanish. I think it should just ask me to translate from spanish to english.

Awesome. Practical, free (unless you want to upgrade) and helpful. I do wish I could skip ahead to the subjects I most need to learn but their prescribed method is good for building on itself and helping you progress.

Some minor issues but overall a good experience. For serious language learners, I would also suggest some kind of grammar rules rather than trying to understand them thru repitition.

Great app! Very useful and interactive for learning bew languages. The main drawback in this app is, while starting a lesson the desktop site provides an additional light bulb symbol which gives an overview about the lesson but in the app its not available.

It's a great app to study different languages in a fun way. I've started studying Spanish and now know some of it. It's a great way to make learning fun. Yes, there are ads but they're not at all annoying. Two words: great app.

I really like duolingo! It takes you through the course slowly but surely -with a lot of repeats. I'm studying Arabic and it is good for pronunciation- reading and writing. I would like more learning tips and some place where you could see the words you have learned & how to pronounce them . Thanks
Hunter adams

Don't get this I'd you are a beginner because you have 5 hearts and if you don't get it right 5 times you have to wait 4 hours. Also it gives you almost no help at all. So if you are just starting you should just move past this app
Tonya Booth

It's has helped me learn the basics so far, but the only small complaint I have is knowing how to resume where I left off in the lesson. I would say the app isn't well organized in the home screen. Other than that, it's great!

What a fun and effective way to learn a new language! Only complaint is they kinda leave you in the dark when it comes to what the language rules are and why some things are the way they are. But it comes with a nice "forum" of other users that do know the language and they leave helpful comments.

I believe the idea of health in the situation of learning is flawed because learning from the start does not garuntee getting everything right. If you make just a couple of mistakes, you have to wait to learn again, which seems like a bad system in a learning app.

I was given the opportunity to finally use the japanese keyboard to type out my answers instead of using the blocks and it worked perfectly fine but then they for some reason took it away. I will leave my review at a one star until they bring it back as it was very fun.

Needs more Features for Korean. I noticed that when learning Spanish, there were extra lessons you payed ignots for, a new tab to listen to stories, and each lesson had a light bulb with good information before you started a lesson. Korean does't have any of that.

It works fairly well alongside an actual language course, but the fact that there is no way to disable the voiceover without muting your device, along with its existence only giving me far more tedious online homework is a deal breaker.

It's an ok app. But it doesn't teach you dialect and has some political undertones tucked away. Controversial views that whole nations split apart over. The politics weren't needed here. Seems like an induction attempt. But maybe its just me.

Lots of encouragement, repetition, different contexts for same words, and different words for same sentences. However, I look for rules as well as gamification, so if it had explanations of how linguistic rules change I would give it 5 stars.

I just love that I learned more than i even wanted and enjoyed what i was doing. I was learning French because I was very fascinated by it unlike Spanish because it was the second most known and learned language. Just overall a great app. But there is only one thing that bothers me. Having to wait 5hrs just to get a heart and it really makes me want to buy the plus but im patient enough to wait. Although, I see how and why you have to wait for 5hrs it motivates them to not get the questions wron

An excelent complimentary way to learn a foreign language efficiently. Sadly I have to drop 2 stars, one for not attempting to include Farsi(Persisn) regardless of thousands of written demands over the years, which makes the app useless in at least two countries (Iran & Afghanistan), not to mention millions of Farsi speaker immigrants living around the world. The other star is droped to encourage you to try developing your own TTS, or using a hand from a third party like Forvo. Best wishes!

This is a great way to develop language skills. I love that it gives me daily accountability and that I can do a little or a lot on any given day. However I have encountered glitches and reported it but never received any sort of response.

I dont like this new crack feature, because it makes me anxious. I dont do new material because "Its gonna go down, I gotta do the others" I wish it was OPTIONAL. To have cracked skills. Plus I do multiple languages, so my other languages are all cracking while I focus on my main one.

it's a very good educational app . but recently in the last update the app's stared to have problems loading the tests and usually lost the voice to pronounce the words or sentences. I hope that in the new update all these problems are solved

It makes learning a language fun, interesting, and engaging. It doesn't have any paywalls (atleast not any that I know of). It is very good at what it does.

Just started but I really enjoy the way it teaches. I feel like I'm playing a game but then as I go about my day I look at the world around me and I realize how much I've learned. The words just click in a way they never did in a classroom. I'm 34 and I'm finally learning a new language.

The approach really helps embed words and constructions in your head, whilst introducing variations so you realise you can say more than you might think. And all at your own pace, with the gentle nagging to keep practicing.

Duo is excellent and has gamified learning spanish. I want to be at the top of my leader board and it's a great incentive to practice. Significant repetition in the lessons is helpful for newbies, but intermediates will want to skip most early levels.

The Japanese section is lacking any in-depth information on grammar and vocabulary/kanji and seems like it was made by someone who doesnt understand learning Japanese. Matching the kanji with the kana reading doesnt teach you anything other than how to read hiragana and katakana.

It was a five star app until it burned me for a 536 day streak even with a streak freeze in place. The Owl did the same thing to my wife 6 months later. Burned her for a 675 day streak with a streak freeze in place. They must not want people using the free app. The Owl said Tagalog would be released over a year ago, yet still nothing, but Klingon is there. My wife taught at University and volunteered to be a contributor for English for Tagalog speakers but she was totally ignored.

I've learned more in the past 12 hours over four days using Duolingo than I did in a full semester long college course. The lessons are presented in an extremely smooth way that really help you actually understand grammar and syntax, as opposed to just memorizing. The repetition helps immensely while being spread out over enough different words/sentences/characters that it doesn't seem so over done. What a wonderful learning tool.

Some minor things could be improved e.g. single nouns should always be learned along with their respective articles. Also, speaking exercises should be repeatable if they were rated partly red (i.e. not full right). Otherwise great so far.

I like learning Spanish with Duolingo, but what gets under my skin a little is the fact that as a female speaker, I can't somehow tell the app I'm female and then describe myself using the feminine -a sound at the end of an adjective.

Have wanted to learn Spanish for several years; but, didnt want to put the time or resources into taking college courses. A friend showed me her Duolingo app and thought it looked like a fun way to learn the language. I've found the learning to be well rounded as far as variety of ways and categories of words, plus phrasing. It has been challenging, fun, and well worth the annual fee. So glad to have been introduced to this program and enjoy my time spent in learning from this app/program.

Some unnatural sentences, but ultimately one of the best learning tools, especially for beginners and vocab. Would love it if they released conjugations tables with all the pronunciations, they would be unstoppable.

Easy to use first and foremost. It uses several different ways to help you learn the language. You read it, write it and speak it which for me makes it much easier to learn.

duolingo is great. I reccomend it to anyone. I have used it since shortly after it started and it has only gotten better. sometimes as are frustrating but they are pretty short compared to others and it helps keep content free. 🥰👍

Very nice app to learn a new language. Easy to use and the system of learning is very good. The only downside is when you do a lot of mistakes you need to wait later to start again or ... pay.

Great with repetition while gradually adding more vocabulary. Some of the phrases are odd and not useful ("hello, horse"), but I understand it's not all about the words themselves.

I believe every language should start at the basics like how children learn. Start with letters and the sounds they make. Then go from there. Dont just throw people into full words learning a new language is hard enough.

This app has many bugs and the bugs CAN NOT BE REPORTED because the bug report screen is bugged too-- it says you need to fill out a Captcha to submit the report, but it doesn't generate a Captcha. Extremely disappointing.

Might be useful as a side exercise if you study. But it'll is bad when it comes to basic grammar. It doesn't teach it but expect you to know how to write it. Just a simple self study would be a big improvement. This makes learning a guessing game and that suck badly. Willl most likely uninstall.

It works! Easy, fun, and it works! Agree with reviewer Kep that they need to put the grammar instructions in the app and not just the desktop. Everything else is great but definitely need grammar instructions please.

Nice application, however I got stock at one step of the game, where you have to pair sound with the word, sound doesn't play at one button and does not allow to continue

I think that this app is really helpful. I am currently in Spanish 2, but out teacher does not teach us anything. This app has taught me more than one and a half years of Spanish class has! However, I do have one issue. I wish that you could skip lessons if you already know the words. I know some basic Spanish and it took me a while to learn some Spanish that I didn't know because of how the lessons are engineered.

Love it! I enjoy the short lesson chunks & the varied presentation of the learning materials. I continue to learn Spanish to stay in touch with my Mexican friends. It's fun to track the progress of others I know who are also using this app, regardless of the language they are learning.

I feel that this app will teach you a new language fast.

It helps to learn the language but it doesn't really teach you the vocab that well or the sentence patterns. But if it's not your main source of information then I still recommend it to help you memorize.

You will actually stay committed to learning the language with this app. The lessons are also challenging and knd of fun, but it would be nice if maybe there was a list of the vocabulary and maybe an explanation of how the grammar works somewhere.

It's a nice app to learn a new language, but you'll need to write down what you've learnt, otherwise you might forget it (and you'll need to revise at least one time in a week what you've learnt so far!).

I love the new updates that have tips and show you why you are wrong. Great app for learning. Now we just need to be able to connect with a language parent to guide us through correct pronunciation.

Ruined by recent updates. Audio doesn't work for many objects. I've found if you've watched an ad, then the speaking exercises are very laggy to acknowledge what you've said and miss words but restarting the app fixes it. So restart Duolingo after each ad.

This is a good app if you're using it in combination with language lessons. The app by itself isn't actually teaching you anything. In my experience, the best way to use this app is by learning a language and testing yourself on the app.

This program pesters you with notifications so much it put me off using it and I've uninstalled it once to rid myself of the onslaught of reminders. Even the "disable notifications" feature in the program doesn't stop the notifications. It's a nuisance program.

This app was amazing until they added the hearts in the latest version that you lose with every mistake, it now makes it impossible to learn from the free version because you can't learn from your mistakes.

It's a great app that has very short ads and very helpful lessons. It is not slow or buggy, but I think they can make it easier to add friends. 5 stars for me!

very helpful and doesn't take much of your time to learn., but it would be better if duolingo stories with the podcast provided within the application it self. Edit : the stories feature has been applied... many thanks 🙏

Would be an amazing app but it takes too long to restore hearts so I'm getting nowhere. It says free trial but I click it and it wants me to pay for the year! Gutted as my brother learnt Arabic with it before the heart system was introduced.

It doesn't feel like learning, more like playing a game.. It seems to really work, the words are sinking in without me trying. It could use a dictionary though.

This game is one of the best educational games I've used. I've spent a lot of time in this game and I've learned a lot. I'm still a bit new, but who cares? It's easy, takes away stress and takes your mind off other things. I'm so addicted! 😊 Thank you so much for making this game 😊

My biggest gripe with this app is the voice portion when learning Vietnamese. The pronounciations are too quick, and you don't get a chance to hear it well enough.

Great language learning app, only gets 3 stars because there's no option to differentiate between British and US English. There are enough spelling and contextual differences between the languages to warrant both options.
Naomi Fletcher

The app generally works well, my phone case makes it hard to complete the speaking sections. What I HATE is that you have to COMPLETE the day's lesson by midnight in order to maintain your streak. So inane!

The app itself is great, it helps you a lot, but I've spent much more than 50 lingots and already equipped a weekend amulet and in the goals it appears like if I haven't done that.

I NEVER LEARNED ANYTHING WITH THIS APP!!!! well my first complaint is that THEY just say how to say the word and what it means ONCE!!! and then they put that word in with a word that THEY NEVER SAID AT ALL!!!! OR WHAT THAT OTHER WORD MEANS!! My second complaint is that THEY ONLY HAVE 3 LIVES AND WHEN YOU GET SOMETHING WRONG 3 TIMES UNTIL YOU CAN PLAY THE GAME!!! my third complaint is that THEY ONLY TEACH YOU THE WORD AND SAY IT ONCE AND EXPECT YOU TO REMEMBER! And I don't recommend! AT ALL!!!!!!

This is a really neat idea, implemented very well! If it interests you to learn another language, or go over something you learned in school and then promptly forgot, Duolingo is actually worth your time

The new hearts system makes it unusable and removes the lighthearted learning experience. Now I look up much more in order to not lose - and do less lessons (and watch less ads). Previously it was 5* App

Pretty good. there's a definite focus on vocabulary. Sound randomly cuts out during lessons. If it keeps up I'll probably switch to something else.

For me as a man of 72 it is excellent. I just wish it would stay at the same level each time i go on it, instead of not knowing where i was last time i used it. But it is the best i've used. Thanks, Alan.

I love this app! It has been a great way for me to learn Gaelic! I do wish there was a tab for explanations of things like why the same word can be spelled different ways. Still, it's a great app! I recommend it all the time.

This was my favourite app on my phone, but the latest update to hearts is nothing more than a transparent cash grab. You're meant to be learning, not stressing out over whether you have enough hearts to meet your daily goal. Disappointing.

Some languages are better than others, Spanish needs a Latin American version, Hebrew needs more content and way more/better/slower audio, German is pretty good. Great that it's free; ads are getting more annoying.

I wish it was more clear how one is supposed to be learning new material. I have taken 3 college level spanish classes so the initial testing is revue for me. I don't understand how a beginner would learn the material enough to be able to effectively participate before making 5 mistakes and being done for the day in the free version. Perhaps that's the point... but regardless I do really like the format of various ways to be repeat tested.

Duolingo is a great way to pick up the basics of a language. It includes conversational topics so you can increase your fluency. You can't learn an entire language in an app, but Duolingo will get you started.

Its really good and user friendly, it gives you a score streak so you want to keep learning, and even though it has ads it spaces them out at good times and rarely.

I am paying for a Pro account and within 1 week there have been programming errors in the matching letters to sounds exercises. This has prevented me from completing my daily exercises and is demotivating.

The app is amazing, the ONLY thing i can say is that the words you learn are a bit all over the place (ex. Lesson 1: woman and women, man and men, boy and boys, girl and girls, but THE woman/man/boy/girl is in lesson 2, so it messed up my notes) but other than that, the app is great!

Good app for starting, but it seriously lacks grammar as you you progress through the German language. For a language where grammar is important it's not helpful to memorise things but not be able to apply learning

I love the whole thing, but the hearts SUCK. All of the fun of learning is ruined. The internet says it's so that people don't "binge" because it's "ineffective for learning". I'm not going to binge, I just want to be able to learn for more than five minutes a day. It's impossible to do anything when your new and aren't really understanding the languages. What angers me even more is that my entire family has the older version and Duolingo is testing on the newer players, which is dumb for this.

Duo is a fantastic app. I originally set it up to learn Polish however moved on to Spanish as that course provided grammar tips and info pertinent to each lesson whilst the Polish didn't sadly.

I am confused as to why it thinks people in Sweden are drinking oil, or why dogs are eating cats, or why 'you are eating my dog's food' is important for me to know but it's fun sharing it with my friends and asking what's going on in Sweden.

Awesome way to learn languages. In the current version I can't follow any new friends. I tap on the blue follow button and it turns grey and then back to blue without working.

This app is really nice! It encourages me to keep learning Latin, even when it may seem hard and not worth it. It has a large variety of languages, and I encourage anyone who has even a slight interest in learning a new language to use this software!

Inimitable. This is arguably the best app ever. If this doesn't teach you a language then nothing can. Astoundingly astute, clever, effective, efficient and competitive. Hats off to the developers. Keep up the hard work and keep education free! Love, Sanlap (Dutch beginner)

I'd love to give 5 stars, but unfortunately I can't because certain practices for the language I'm learning (Hindi) are a little glitchy and won't let me match things such as "kham" and "कँ",which makes it impossible for me to complete my tasks and continue my streaks or earn any exp. I'm basically stuck all the time and can't move forwards, which is a pity. It is a really great learning app if you ignore those (little) errors.

Duolingo is just splendid, it does all to enable you to read, write, speak and understand conversations in a short period of time and to continue building up knowledge. That's exactly what most people are after.

Used to be great app before monetization changes, now it is not fun and not free. Also, all updates I've seen in last year made app look worse.

My experience is 5 stars, but so far I haven't had the dreaded "hearts" so your experience may vary (my wife has the hearts and doesn't like them, who gets them seems to be random). I'm learning German quite rapidly though through a simple yet effective lesson structure.

It is sad that there is no feature to switch the default language. My first language is Russian but my phone is set to English, so the app is also in English which makes it really inconvenient to learn.

I love the app, but I've been having a really bad bug where I've had to redo several lessons two or more times. Recently, I've had to do the Spanish Family lesson three times already, and it still hasn't moved me forward even though I have perfect answers. Please fix this!!!

The app would get 6 stars if not for their new "leagues." For those of us actually interested in learning, competing with people that are earning thousands of points a day is counterproductive. Besides, what person with a full - time job has time for more than a few lessons a day?

As a multi language, I consider Duolingo one of the most useful free app. I have learned a lot of languages: Russian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Swedish, Dutch, and also Latin. It provides you with a daily and weekly score and a language ranking parade with other users, so it can takes you time. So, I suggest to follow your own schedule for not being addicted. I love the new dialog section as well. Some language to improve about the pronunciation, but it's worth to have.

It's great the exercises are repeated from the initial one in each lesson, enabling the learner's aural and written abilities. The only niggle I have is the lack of grammar guidance, which makes learning when to mutate words in Welsh impossible if using this app only.

Good app but i wish it would explain more. You have to use more than just this app for learning japanese at least. Just tells you the meaning but nothing about conjugation, verb forms , ect.

I love this app! It helps me a lot. I'm only 9 years old and I can understand german ( the language I'm learning ) even more than i did before because all I could do was counting up to 10 and say hello ! Thanks soooo much I really appreciate it duo!!👍👍👌

Duolingo is great for kids and adults learning about differnent languages.They have so many catigories such as intro,family,and food.I am learning Enspanol aka Spanish.Duolingo makes it easy for me and much others to learn.I think they make it better than any other language learning apps.They let you learn more than 1 language at a time.I think I will start to learn French as well as Spanish.I highly reccomend downloading Duolingo if you are interesed in learning other lanuages!5/5.

In trying to learn Hindi, one of the quizzes had an incorrect answer; no matter what I tried the quiz would not complete. I contacted Duolingo via email to attempt to get it fixed and never had a response and never had the problem fixed. Therefore I switched to a paid app called Rocket Languages.

Why suddenly the app became unstable? It messes up XP points, days, the number of lessons done and leagues. It seems that the recent few updates made it work worst.

It's good to learn from this app but it starts from the difficult which is not good from the beginner like me as there is no basics like introduction, asking names etc in initial levels,

Great app but! Phrases need to be real world use and not "I'm a boy". Also think the app should ask your sex as words will be said differently between masculine and feminine.

Constantly asks about duolingo plus and referring a friend for a free week. However, upon referring a friend, no free week is given and the hounding over trying plus is more annoying than the ads.

When I'm able to afford it, I will for sure invest in the full paid app. My only real frustration with this is if I'm having trouble with a certain lesson and need to practice it further, it hardly ever pulls up anything from that lesson in the practice section. I wish there was some way to flag specific things so you can practice your troubled areas more.

It was good. But now you have lives. 3 mistakes and you have to wait hours to keep practicing. And they take 4 hrs to get 1. You used to be able to learn a lot. Now it's almost useless. Disappointed with that change.

Painless and effective. The app reminds you to give a little time each day so that you progress in your skills. Very clever.

The first few levels were cool. But the app does a poor job of adjusting if the learner (me) starts to struggle.

The only thing missing is a dark mode, hurts your eyes at night or other dark situations. Considering duolingo is an owl, I thought this would make sense.

I love this app, its useful, its fun, and all around good currently I'm learning russian. Duolingo is one of the adds that you find once and blue moon, it's one of those good apps wich are rare and there's competition in it too. I RECOMMEND YOU GET THIS APP.

With this app you can learn 30 and more languages. Duolingo makes hard languages easy to learn. If you want to learn french you can learn french, if you want to learn Korean learn Korean. And I think that is all.

I'm happy so far with my course in Gaelic and might start some other courses in the future. It's a bit of a shame that there's no dark mode feature, bright light strains my eyes and makes it harder to learn things. A dark theme for the app would be a nice future feature.

For spme reason They make a lousy Japanese course, not even covering all the hiranga and giving zero lessons for katakana which is essential to learning Japanese... You need to have some kind of 3rd party study aid for these and other Asian courses if You want to learn them in depth and not just play a game (>.>) be it a text book, charachter chart, etc, which is totally unnecessary. There are better apps for Asia But if You're interested in a European language, this application is a must have!

Duolingo is an amazing way to learn any language! One thing though, I don't think the hearts are an effective way to get people to play. I couldn't play just because I had no stars.

Unfortunately, the behavior of the app changed. I don't remember updating it, but from this week it gives less lessons per level than before. This really impact my practise of new themes, so I think I won't use the app anymore, because of this sudden change...

I had this before and loved it, but now it takes five wrong answers and you're locked out. All these ads saying: "this ad helps keep education free", but it doesn't, because you have to pay so you're mistakes don't count.

It is a good app if you need to practice a language you are already learning but not for a language you are brand new at. It doesn't teach you any grammar such as sentence structure or conjugating.

Most language learners give up because they don't seem to have enough free time to learn. With Duolinguo, it's possible to learn only five minutes a day if you are too busy and practice more later when you are relaxed. Even 5 minutes a day can assure progress or at least not to forget what you have ...

Boring to keeps coming from my life in being completely disruptive with ads but other than that it is a very good app later they recommended if you are learning another language other than your whole language

I am very hesitant with this app. I am trying to learn Japanese and plan to stick with the app unless it turns out to waste time but having spent 4 years learning French in high school I tried the French portion and what it classifies as basics are not what one should learn 1st. So I'm concerned that this app more of just teaches memorization of phrases over learning the language.

It has a few downsides, but pretty minor. Overall it's one of the best apps I've used, and even though there is a plus feature, it's not intrusive at all.

I love everything about this aggressive little bird reminding me to keep learning. The Russian class does not start by teaching you the alphabet though which I think is a mistake and makes the learning process harder. It does great with the romantic languages though. And Japanese is pretty good too.

I wish I could love this app. My mother language is a latin one, but I can only learn Spanish from English. And guess what? Spanish words, unlike the English ones, have genders. The way your lessons are created makes it very confusing. 500 characters aren't enough apparently to write down all the issues found in the very first lesson, but you probably know them already. How about put some more effort in it and allow us to learn latin languages from EVERY other latin language? Please.

I'm learning Spanish, and it's easy! The reminders help me remember to practice, and the streaks help me want to do it even when I don't really feel like it. It's hard to resist wanting to maintain a streak. 😏 I'm not interested in any of the other game aspects of it, so I turned them off. Doing so doesn't affect the lessons. This is one of only two apps I've ever paid for. Of course it's super cheap compared to taking a class. Also, the fact that I paid for it makes me want to use it more. 😊

Perfect. You get to study more if you pay though. Edit after a month of use: I like it more than Rosetta stone I feel like you get to learn new words slowly and they give you time to learn the new word. I am learning French and feel like I can already say and especially read and write all of the sentences they've taught me.

Don't download this to learn Chinese. The lessons are absolutely terrible. Doesn't cover the basics of tones, or provide any information on grammar. Doesn't ever properly cover the english meaning of the words. Literally any other chinese app is better.

Is there a reason that there is "health"? Why is this treated as a game? I am learning a new language because I NEED to, this is not a game to me. And why am I learning how to say "I eat bread" in Spanish rather than learning how to have a basic conversation with someone?

When I tried to use Duolingo to learn Latin, I found that it took WAY too long to get to crucial material (tenses other than the present, for example) and spent WAY too long on pointlessly obscure vocabulary (I doubt I'll ever need to know the Latin words for "parrot" or "weasel"). I stopped because after awhile I felt like I was wasting my time. This app would be improved by stressing grammar more and vocabulary less.

The recent addition of 'hearts' and losing them when one makes a mistake is highly unproductive and frustrating.

let's just say I have learnt more Spanish in 1 week than I did in 2 years of high school. I love that this app starts with baby steps than progresses when you are ready to. I also love the practise for life feature. This app picks up your strengths and weaknesses and helps you improve through this feature instead brushing you off with a one off lesson like many other learning programs do. This app makes learning fun by making it more of an app game that you have to progress on to complete.
